Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

Who is the best LTL carrier from Austin to Canada?
For a few pallets on Austin 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 Austin and scheduled consolidated departures through its Cedar Hill, Texas facility 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.
Do you pick up in Austin?
Yes. Frontline picks up in Austin and across Central Texas. Texas freight is consolidated through Frontline's Cedar Hill, Texas facility in the Dallas area, then moves to Ontario and Quebec.
How long does LTL take from Austin 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.
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 Austin 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.
