Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

How long does LTL take from California to Montreal?
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.
Who ships LTL from California to Quebec?
For a few pallets on California to Montreal and Quebec, 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 Kirkland, Quebec 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 often do trucks leave California for Quebec?
Yes. Frontline runs scheduled departures every week on a published schedule. The current week's departure days are on ftlninc.com under View Schedule.
What paperwork do I need to ship into Canada?
Frontline provides the bill of lading and coordinates clearance with the customs broker. From the shipper, the border needs a commercial invoice describing the goods and their value. If the goods qualify for duty-free treatment under CUSMA, the shipper or importer can include a certification of origin. Frontline's team will tell you exactly what your shipment needs when you book.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from California to Montreal?
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.
Do you offer appointment or residential delivery in Quebec?
Yes. Liftgate, residential and appointment delivery are available on request, for an extra charge.
Do you take refrigerated freight?
No. Frontline does not take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight.
