Freight Forwarding

Getting goods from origin to destination often involves multiple carriers, modes of transport, and regulatory requirements. Our freight forwarding services coordinate air, ocean, and ground shipments so your products move through the supply chain without delays or gaps in communication. We handle carrier coordination, documentation, and customs clearance, so you have a single point of contact for the complexity behind every shipment.

Full Truckload (FTL)

When your freight requires dedicated truck capacity, our Full Truck Load (FTL) service provides direct routing from origin to destination with no stops and no shared space. This means faster transit times, reduced handling risk, and predictable scheduling for large volume shipments. We match your freight to the right equipment, including dry van, flatbed, step deck, and 40′ containers, and manage the full execution from dispatch through proof of delivery.

Less Than Truckload (LTL)

Not every shipment needs a full truck. Our LTL service provides a cost-effective solution for smaller freight volumes by consolidating shipments and sharing trailer capacity. You get competitive rates without sacrificing service quality, with load optimization and carrier selection handled by our team to ensure your freight moves on schedule and arrives intact.

Last Mile Delivery

The final leg of delivery is often the most complex and the most visible to your end customer. Canadian Alliance manages last-mile delivery to both commercial and residential addresses across North America, with scheduled delivery windows, real-time tracking, and proof of delivery documentation. From retail store replenishment to direct-to-door shipments, we ensure your product arrives on time and in the condition your customers expect.

Drayage Services

Short-haul container transport between ports, rail yards, and warehouses is time-sensitive work where delays translate directly into detention and demurrage fees. Our drayage services leverage our proximity to the Port of Vancouver to move containers quickly, with proactive scheduling, chassis management, and coordination with terminal operators to keep your freight on track and your costs under control.

Intermodal Shipping

Combining rail, truck, and ocean transport into a single coordinated plan is one of the most cost-effective ways to move freight over long distances. Our intermodal services, in partnership with CN and CP Rail, provide reliable cross-country capacity with lower emissions and lower per-unit shipping costs. We manage the transitions between modes so your freight moves seamlessly from port to rail to final destination.
