The Less Than Truckload (LTL) Shipping Advantage
Canada-Wide Carrier Network
First Frontier’s vetted LTL carriers serve Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, so a partial load keeps moving whether it stays on a domestic Canadian lane or crosses the border.
Safety and Compliance
We match the transportation method to your goods and destination, on Canadian lanes and cross-border runs alike. Ongoing monitoring and security measures help prevent theft or damage.
Tracking and Visibility
Our cloud-based TMS, EDI and API connections keep your LTL shipments tracked from pickup to delivery, so you can see where a partial load sits on any Canadian or cross-border lane.
Bilingual Support and Regional Offices
With offices across North America, we provide 24/7 bilingual support in English and Spanish to serve
a diverse client base.

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.
