Freight service overview
A dedicated trailer for larger freight moves
Full truckload transportation uses dedicated trailer capacity for one shipment. It can make sense when the freight fills a significant portion of the trailer, when handling needs to be minimized, or when the schedule and delivery requirements favour a dedicated move.
FTL quote details still matter: total weight, pallet count, commodity, trailer type, pickup and delivery requirements, and whether the shipment crosses the Canada–U.S. border all affect planning.
How it works
A straightforward freight quote process
Send the route and freight details first. We use those details to match the shipment with the appropriate service and equipment.
Confirm trailer requirements
Dry van, flatbed or other equipment is selected based on loading and freight characteristics.
Provide load totals
Pallet count, total pieces, dimensions, weight and commodity help confirm capacity.
Plan the dedicated move
The shipment is coordinated around the required trailer and delivery schedule.
Canada & U.S. transportation
Dedicated FTL shipping across Canada and cross-border
Businesses searching for full truckload or FTL freight generally need more trailer capacity, fewer handling points or a dedicated schedule. Skid to Trailer supports full-trailer quote requests for Canadian and Canada–U.S. commercial freight.
If the load is too small for a full trailer, LTL or partial freight may be more appropriate. If the freight cannot be loaded into an enclosed trailer, flatbed or step-deck equipment can be considered instead.
