Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

How long does LTL take from Dallas to Toronto?
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.
Who is the best LTL carrier from Texas to Canada?
For a few pallets on Texas 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: scheduled consolidated departures from Cedar Hill, Texas to its own 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.
Are rates from Texas 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.
How often do trucks leave Texas for Canada?
Yes. Frontline runs scheduled departures every week on a published schedule. The current week's departure days are on ftlninc.com under View Schedule.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from Texas 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 freight do you take?
Palletized commercial freight. Customers ship auto parts, medical equipment, HVAC and refrigeration parts, dry food products such as rice and quinoa, apparel, and fitness and music equipment. Frontline does not take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight.
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.
Which Texas companies ship with Frontline?
Texas shippers that move freight to Canada with Frontline include Coquette International and Wavenet (cabling solutions).
