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. Pickup, delivery and any additional handling requirements are agreed before you book.

3

Get both ends ready.

Pickup references, receiving contacts, appointments and loading arrangements are confirmed before the freight moves. No dock or forklift? Tell us when booking so the right equipment is arranged.

Check a transit time
4

Get updates. Without asking for updates.

Your contact monitors the shipment and keeps you posted. If plans change, we explain what’s happening and what we’re doing about it. Between updates, check your shipment details in the portal, 24/7.

5

Get your freight. And your paperwork.

We follow through on delivery and make sure the documents reach you. One shipment reference. One team to call. Your proof of delivery shouldn’t require proof of persistence.

    Moto Transportation understands their business, building relationships and delivering on time; claim free. Their service is excellent and pricing competitive.

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–Toronto freight FAQs

    Big country. Fair questions.

    How long does freight shipping take from Vancouver to Toronto?

    Weekly intermodal departures leave our Surrey terminal on Thursdays, with an estimated 7-8 business days terminal to terminal to Mississauga. Truck transportation is also available when needed.

    Send your pickup address and ready date so we can confirm collection and the departure your freight will make.

    How long does freight shipping take from Toronto to Vancouver?

    The same both ways: intermodal departures leave Mississauga on Thursdays, an estimated 7-8 business days terminal to terminal to Surrey, with truck transportation available when needed.

    We coordinate pickup across the GTA and confirm estimated delivery timing when quoting.

    Is intermodal or truck shipping better between Vancouver and Toronto?

    Intermodal is our regular weekly service and is worth comparing when your delivery date is flexible. Truck transportation can be quoted when timing or shipment requirements call for another option.

    We explain the costs and estimated transit times before you choose.

    Can I ship just one pallet, or do I need a full truckload?

    One pallet is fine. The scheduled service combines shipments from different customers on the same trailer, so you pay for the space your freight takes.

    Full truckload is available when the shipment needs the whole trailer or a schedule of its own.

    How much does it cost to ship a pallet from Vancouver to Toronto?

    Send both postal codes, the packaged dimensions and total weight. Include whether the pallet is stackable and whether either end needs a tailgate or a delivery appointment.

    Those details set the rate.

    Can you collect or deliver freight without a loading dock?

    Yes, with suitable equipment arranged at booking. Tell us whether a forklift is available, whether a tailgate is needed and whether there are any truck access restrictions.

    Include residential addresses when requesting your quote.

    Do you deliver outside the GTA and Metro Vancouver?

    Yes. Hamilton, London, Windsor, Kitchener, Ottawa and Montreal connect through our Mississauga terminal, and Vancouver Island, the Interior and Northern BC connect through Surrey.

    Send the exact address or postal code so we can quote the service and confirm what the connection adds.

    What information do you need to book a Vancouver–Toronto shipment?

    Both addresses, shipping contacts, a description of the goods, pallet or piece count, packaged dimensions, total weight and your ready date.

    Mention loading requirements, delivery appointments and whether either end has a dock or forklift at the same time, so they are priced in rather than added later.
