Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

Who is the best LTL carrier from Los Angeles to Toronto?
For a few pallets on Los Angeles, Orange County or the Inland Empire to the GTA, 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 own Burlington, Ontario facility, 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 Toronto?
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.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from California to Toronto?
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.
How often do trucks leave California for Ontario?
Yes. Frontline runs scheduled departures every week on a published schedule. The current week's departure days are on ftlninc.com under View Schedule.
Where does my freight arrive in Ontario?
At Frontline's Burlington, Ontario facility (1500 Corporate Drive, doors 16 to 18), then out for delivery across Toronto, the GTA and Ontario. Liftgate, residential and appointment delivery are available on request, for an extra charge.
What is the largest pallet you take?
A standard pallet is up to 48 x 40 inches, 99 inches high, and up to 1,800 lb.
Is my freight insured?
Cargo coverage is $2 per pound.
Do you handle the customs clearance?
Frontline coordinates the customs documentation and clearance with established customs brokers, and provides the bill of lading and supporting paperwork that keeps your freight moving at the border.
