Surrey, BC — our dock

Port to door

One dock between the port and your customer

Most importers use one company to pull the container, another to unload it and a third to deliver it. We do all three from Surrey, on one invoice.

Technology

You should never have to ask where your freight is

We built our own dispatch system instead of buying someone else's. It means the answer to “where is my load?” is already on your screen.

  • Live GPS on every loadNot a status that updates twice a day. Actual position, including time spent at the border.
  • Quotes inside an hourOur dispatch system prices your lane against real capacity, so the number you get is a number we can hold.
  • Proof of delivery automaticallySigned POD reaches your inbox when the load is delivered, not when someone remembers to scan it.
  • One dispatcher, full historyEvery call, every load and every exception is on one record, so you never re-explain your account.

Why shippers stay

The boring things, done properly

No fuel surcharges, no re-brokering, no chasing us for an update.

  • Per-pallet pricing

    You pay for the space your freight actually uses. No fuel surcharges and no fees that appear on the invoice but never on the quote.

  • Your pallets stay intact

    We never restack or break down your pallets to fill deck space. What you load is what gets delivered.

  • Answers in minutes

    Quotes within the hour, and a reply from a person within five minutes during business hours.

  • Your broker, our paperwork

    Keep the customs broker you trust. Send us the documents and we handle the rest, so loads cross on schedule.

How it works

Four steps, no chasing

  1. Request a quote

    Send the origin, destination and freight details. You get a price within the hour, not a callback request.

  2. Book the pickup

    Choose your pickup window. Same-day pickup is available across the Lower Mainland.

  3. We move it

    Routing, border timing and broker coordination are handled by our dispatch team, not by you.

  4. Track and receive

    Follow the load online until it is delivered, then get proof of delivery in your inbox.

Questions

Freight questions, answered straight

How much does LTL freight from Surrey cost?

LTL is priced per pallet, based on the space your freight uses and the lane it travels. There are no fuel surcharges. Send your pallet count, dimensions, weight and destination and you will have a firm price within the hour.

How fast can you deliver to the United States?

Next morning to Washington and Oregon, and two to three days to Idaho, from a Lower Mainland pickup.

Do you handle customs clearance?

We are a carrier, not a customs broker. You keep your own licensed broker and we coordinate the PARS or PAPS timing with them so your load crosses without waiting at the line.

Can you unload a container and deliver the freight?

Yes. We coordinate the drayage from the Port of Vancouver to our Surrey dock, where our own crew unloads 20, 40 or 45 ft containers, sorts and palletises the freight, and our trucks deliver it across BC, Alberta and the US.

Do you offer cross-docking?

Yes. Freight arriving at our Surrey dock is checked, sorted by destination and loaded straight onto our outbound trucks. If it needs to wait, it can go into our warehouse in the same building.

What is the minimum shipment size?

One pallet. We carry anything from a single pallet up to a full truckload in our own dry vans.

Do you pick up the same day?

Yes, across the Lower Mainland, subject to the time you book. Langley, Surrey and Delta are closest to our dock and easiest at short notice.

Which areas do you serve?

Pickup across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Delivery to Washington, Oregon and Idaho cross-border, and Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario domestically.
