Questions shippers ask

Tap a question to see Frontline's answer.

Who is the best LTL carrier from San Diego to Canada?
For a few pallets on San Diego 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 San Diego County and scheduled consolidated departures from its Rancho Cucamonga, California facility to facilities in Ontario, Quebec and 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.
Do you pick up in San Diego?
Yes. San Diego is where Frontline picks up the most California freight after Los Angeles: San Diego, El Cajon, Santee and Poway most often, and also Vista, Carlsbad and Chula Vista. Freight is consolidated at Frontline's Rancho Cucamonga, California facility.
How long does LTL take from San Diego to Toronto or Montreal?
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.
Where does my freight get delivered in Canada?
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.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from San Diego 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 paperwork do I need to ship into Canada?
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.
Do you offer liftgate or appointment delivery?
Yes. Liftgate, residential and appointment delivery are available on request, for an extra charge.
Do you take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight?
No. Frontline does not take hazmat or temperature-controlled freight.
