Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

Who is the best LTL carrier from Houston to Canada?
For a few pallets on Houston to Ontario 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: pickup in Houston and scheduled consolidated departures through its Cedar Hill, Texas facility to its Burlington, Ontario and Kirkland, Quebec facilities, 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 Houston to Toronto or Montreal?
Texas freight moves through Frontline's Cedar Hill, Texas facility (Dallas area) on a similar schedule to California: most consolidated LTL shipments reach major Canadian destinations within 5 to 8 days, customs clearance included.
Do you pick up in Houston?
Yes. Houston is where Frontline picks up more Texas freight than anywhere else. Freight is picked up in Houston and moves through Frontline's Cedar Hill, Texas facility to Ontario and Quebec on a published weekly schedule.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from Houston to Canada?
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 paperwork do I need to ship freight 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.
Are rates changing because of the tariffs?
No. Because Frontline only facilitates the freight clearance with the customs broker, there are no changes to Frontline's rates or rate structure due to the tariffs, and no changes to customer lead times.
Do you take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight?
No. Frontline does not take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight.
Which Texas companies ship with Frontline?
Texas shippers that move freight to Canada with Frontline include Coquette International and Wavenet (cabling solutions).
