    Yes. First Frontier provides proactive tracking and updates from pickup to delivery, giving you complete visibility and peace of mind throughout your shipment’s journey.

    Absolutely. We work closely with your customs broker to manage the submission of all required documents, monitor custom clearances, and keep you informed every step of the way for shipments moving between Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

    LTL is ideal for smaller loads or palletized shipments that don’t require a full truck. It’s cost-efficient and perfect for frequent, lower-volume deliveries.

    You share trailer space with other shipments and only pay for the space your freight occupies, making it more affordable than Full Truckload (FTL).

    Freight class is important for domestic U.S. LTL shipments, as it helps ensure accurate pricing and billing. However, for most cross-border shipments between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, freight classification is not always required. Our team can guide you based on your shipment details and destination.
