Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

Who is the best LTL carrier from Texas to Toronto?
For a few pallets on Texas to Toronto and Ontario, 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 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 Texas 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.
Where in Texas do you pick up?
Frontline picks up across Texas, most often in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington, and also in Austin, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley (McAllen, Laredo and Edinburg). Texas freight is consolidated through Frontline's Cedar Hill, Texas facility in the Dallas area.
How often do trucks leave Texas 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.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from Texas 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.
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.
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.
