      Frequently Asked Questions

      Yes. Our vetted LTL carriers serve Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, so partial loads move on domestic Canadian lanes and cross-border routes alike. Send us the origin, destination and pallet count and we will quote the lane.

      Yes. Alongside dry vans we run refrigerated trailers for temperature-sensitive freight and heated trailers for goods that need freeze protection. Tell us what you are moving and we will match the equipment to the lane and the season.

      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.

      All shipments are handled by trained professionals who follow strict safety and securement standards. We monitor every load in real time to prevent loss or damage.

      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 U.S., and Mexico.

      LTL is ideal for smaller loads or palletized shipments that don’t require a full truck, which is the common case for businesses shipping within Canada or into the U.S. and Mexico. It’s cost-efficient and suits frequent, lower-volume deliveries.

      You share trailer space with other shipments and only pay for the space your freight occupies, which makes LTL more affordable than Full Truckload (FTL) when a shipment does not fill a trailer.

      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.
