We coordinate the move.

Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

    Moto Transportation is amazing! I wish I could give them 10 stars! They went above and beyond to help me move a giant piece of furniture. It was even more difficult considering the location and space I asked for, and additionally, I was out of town when all of this took place!!! Moto Transportation went through so much trouble to help me and they were so professional and patient. Office manager John, logistic coordinator Tony and Orlando, the clearance department, and the lovely office staffs Mariam and Anastasia. They thought of all the details I would never have thought of.
    Darrel Cannings8 years ago
    Great response to email requests for rates and tracing. Usually get the response within 15 minutes, so important for those of us in a 3pl companies. Great updates for shipments picked up and/or delivered. They have been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend this company for all your LTL moves.

    We use Moto multiple times weekly. Their portal is very easy to use, the team is incredibly responsive and always provides the best rates. Our rep (Christina) is incredible, often responding in under 2 minutes to any inquiries we have. Tracking shipments is a breeze due to their system providing location updates daily while shipments are in transit. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend for all your transportation needs, LTL or FTL

    Toronto freight FAQs

    Before you book a pickup

    Costs and services

    How much does freight shipping from Toronto cost?

    Pricing depends on the pickup and delivery locations, packaged dimensions, total weight and service needed. Send those details with your ready date for a quote.

    Include residential addresses, delivery appointments, tailgate needs and any deadline so they can be accounted for before booking.

    What’s the cheapest way to ship a pallet from Toronto?

    For smaller shipments, LTL lets your pallet travel with other freight instead of paying for a dedicated truck. On longer Canadian routes, intermodal may also be worth comparing.

    The lowest-cost option depends on the destination, shipment size and how flexible your delivery date is.

    Do you offer LTL shipping in Toronto?

    Yes. Moto arranges less-than-truckload shipping to and from Toronto for single pallets and larger shipments that don’t need a full trailer.

    Pickup and delivery cover the GTA, with transportation across Canada and the USA.

    Can you pick up from my supplier in Mississauga, Brampton or Vaughan?

    Yes. Local pickup covers Toronto and the GTA, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Concord, Markham and surrounding communities.

    Send the supplier’s address, contact details, pickup reference and hours. Include any appointment requirements so collection can be coordinated with the facility.

    Can you deliver to a warehouse that requires an appointment?

    Yes. Send the receiving instructions, purchase order or delivery reference, and any booking requirements when you arrange the shipment.

    Let us know about fixed receiving windows or required delivery dates before booking. They affect which service fits and how the delivery is scheduled.

    Can you pick up or deliver without a loading dock?

    Yes, provided suitable equipment and access can be arranged. Tell us whether there’s a dock, forklift or neither, along with the shipment’s dimensions and weight.

    Tailgate service and any additional handling need to be confirmed at booking. Mention restricted truck access, underground receiving areas or limited unloading space as well.

    Where we ship

    How long does freight shipping between Toronto and Vancouver take?

    Scheduled LTL leaves Mississauga on Thursdays, an estimated 7-8 business days terminal to terminal, and leaves Surrey on Thursdays, an estimated 7-8 business days.

    Local pickup, final delivery and any wait for departure add time. Send both addresses and your required delivery date so we can compare suitable road and intermodal options.

    How long does freight shipping from Toronto to Calgary or Edmonton take?

    Scheduled LTL leaves Mississauga for Calgary on Thursdays, an estimated 5-6 business days terminal to terminal. Edmonton and other Alberta destinations require additional connecting transportation.

    Local pickup, final delivery and connections add time. Send the delivery address and required arrival date for an estimate covering the whole shipment.

    Can you ship freight from Toronto to the USA and back?

    Yes. Moto arranges LTL and full truckload shipping between Toronto and US destinations, including California, Texas, the Midwest and the Eastern states.

    Departure options and transit times depend on the lane and direction. Send both addresses, your shipment details and ready date. Use your own customs broker, or have clearance arranged through our licensed customs brokerage partner.

    Can you collect freight outside the GTA?

    Yes. Pickup and delivery extend across Ontario, including Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Windsor, Barrie, Kingston and Ottawa.

    Send the exact address or postal code. For rural properties and sites outside major centres, include access details and the loading equipment available.

    Can I use my own customs broker?

    Yes. Give us your broker’s details when you book and we’ll coordinate the shipment paperwork with them.

    If you need clearance arranged, our licensed customs brokerage partner can handle it, with Moto coordinating the transportation and clearance arrangements. How customs clearance works.
