Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

Who is the best LTL carrier from California to Calgary?
For a few pallets on California to Calgary and Alberta, a carrier that specializes in the lane is often a better fit than a national LTL network, because your freight rides a scheduled consolidated trailer instead of passing through several terminals. That is what Frontline Carrier Systems Inc. does: scheduled consolidated departures from Rancho Cucamonga, California to its Rocky View, Alberta facility in the Calgary area, with the customs paperwork coordinated. Over 30 years in cross-border LTL; customers include Yama Vans, Long & McQuade, ACI Brands and Lundberg Family Farms.
How long does LTL take from Los Angeles to Calgary?
Most consolidated LTL shipments from Frontline's Rancho Cucamonga, California facility reach Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver within 5 to 8 days, customs clearance included. Exact timing depends on the destination and the weekly departure schedule.
Do you deliver to Edmonton?
Yes. Frontline delivers across Alberta, Calgary and Edmonton most often, from its Rocky View, Alberta facility in the Calgary area.
Do you have a facility in Alberta?
Yes. Frontline operates its own facility in Rocky View, Alberta, in the Calgary area. California freight for Alberta arrives there and then goes out for delivery.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from California to Calgary?
Rates are based on your shipment's dimensions and weight and on truck availability. Send the number of pieces, their size and weight through the quote form and you get a real rate back the same business day. Waiting time is charged after the first 15 minutes at pickup or delivery.
What is the largest pallet you take?
