Our M.O.

Good at pickups. Better at follow-through.

1

Tell us what’s moving.

Pickup and delivery locations, dimensions, weight and ready date. Include any loading requirements or appointments. Finding out there’s no forklift is more useful before the truck arrives.

2

Pick the option that fits.

We compare suitable services, explain the costs and estimated transit times, and confirm what’s included. You choose what works. Book through the portal or leave the booking to us.

3

We coordinate the move.

Pickup, terminal connections and delivery arrangements stay with your Moto contact. Crossing the border? Use your own customs broker or have clearance arranged through our licensed brokerage partner.

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

    Vancouver freight FAQs

    Before you book a pickup

    Costs and services

    How much does freight shipping from Vancouver cost?

    The destination, packaged dimensions, total weight and service requirements determine the price. Send your shipment details and ready date, and we’ll compare suitable options.

    Tell us about appointments, residential addresses or tailgate requirements so those costs are included.

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

    For a smaller shipment, LTL lets you share transportation costs with other freight. 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 from Vancouver?

    Yes. Moto provides less-than-truckload shipping to and from Vancouver for single pallets and larger shipments that don’t require a full trailer. Options include Canadian freight services and scheduled cross-border LTL, supported by our carrier partners.

    What are the pickup and terminal cutoffs?

    Submit pickup requests before noon, local time. Same-day pickup depends on availability. For a scheduled departure, freight must reach the departing terminal by 3 p.m. local time to be considered for that day’s service, subject to available space.

    Can you pick up or deliver without a loading dock?

    Yes. Tell us what loading equipment is available and whether the truck can access the site. We can arrange tailgate service where suitable, with requirements confirmed at booking.

    Where we ship

    Can you ship freight from Vancouver to California?

    Yes. We offer dry van LTL between the Lower Mainland and California, including Southern California and the Bay Area, with truckload options available too.

    Southbound runs once a week and northbound twice, so tell us your ready date and we will confirm the departure your freight makes. How cross-border freight shipping works.

    Can you ship freight from Vancouver to Toronto?

    Yes. We offer scheduled intermodal shipping between the Lower Mainland and Greater Toronto Area, with road options available to suit your deadline.

    We compare both against your budget and delivery date. Vancouver–Toronto freight shipping options.
