Los Angeles to Canada freight, picked up across the LA basin

For a few pallets on Los Angeles to Toronto, Montreal or Calgary, 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 across the LA basin and scheduled consolidated departures from its Rancho Cucamonga, California facility to its facilities in Burlington, Ontario, Kirkland, Quebec and Rocky View, Alberta, with the customs paperwork coordinated. Over 30 years in cross-border LTL; customers include Yama Vans, Long & McQuade, ACI Brands and Lundberg Family Farms.

Frontline picks up across Los Angeles County, most often in Torrance, Santa Fe Springs, Commerce, Carson and Gardena, and also in Los Angeles, the City of Industry, Sylmar, Chatsworth and the San Fernando Valley. Freight is consolidated at Frontline's Rancho Cucamonga, California facility.

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.

Across Canada. California freight goes most often to the Greater Toronto Area (Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Oakville and Toronto), to Montreal and the rest of Quebec, and to Calgary and Edmonton, through Frontline's facilities in Burlington, Ontario, Kirkland, Quebec and Rocky View, Alberta.

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.

Yes. Frontline runs scheduled departures every week on a published schedule. The current week's departure days are on ftlninc.com under View Schedule.

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.

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.

No. Frontline does not take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight.
