Michigan to Canada
Freight picked up in Michigan typically reaches our Toronto terminal in about 2 business days from a Detroit-area pickup. From there, we can arrange onward shipping to Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Vancouver using Moto’s scheduled consolidations shown below or our carrier network. We’ll compare options based on your freight, budget and required delivery date.
| From Toronto | Departs | Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Vancouver | Thu | 7-8 business days |
| Calgary | Thu | 5-6 business days |
Canada to Michigan
LTL and full truckload shipping from Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and other Canadian origins to Michigan. We coordinate pickup, cross-border transportation and final delivery around your shipment.
Western Canadian consolidated LTL connects through our Toronto terminal: weekly intermodal departures leave our Surrey terminal on Thursdays, with an estimated 7-8 business days to Toronto. Onward delivery to your Michigan address takes about 2 business days from there.
Pallet & LTL shipping
One pallet or several, without reserving a whole trailer. Your freight shares transportation with other shipments, with pricing based on the route, dimensions, weight and handling requirements.
Full truckload shipping
A dedicated trailer when the shipment needs the space, specific handling or a schedule of its own. Pickup, equipment and delivery timing are quoted for the load.

Good at pickups. Better at follow-through.
Tell us what’s moving.
Pickup and delivery locations, packaged dimensions, weight and ready date. Include loading requirements, appointments and when it needs to arrive. A deadline works better in the booking than in a follow-up email.
Pick the option that fits.
We compare suitable LTL and truckload services, explain the costs and estimated transit times, and confirm what’s included. Duties and taxes are separate; any brokerage fee is shown before you book.
Get the customs side lined up.
Use your existing customs broker or have clearance arranged through our licensed brokerage partner. Moto coordinates the documents and follows up on clearance so you have one team to contact about the shipment.
How customs clearance worksGet 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.
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.

A few answers to get things rolling.
Service and coverage
Can you ship freight from Michigan to Canada?
Yes. We arrange pallet, LTL and full truckload shipping from Michigan to Canadian destinations. LTL connects through our Toronto terminal for local delivery and onward transportation across Canada.
Can you pick up freight from a supplier in Detroit?
Yes. We coordinate supplier pickups across Detroit and the surrounding area.
Send the collection address, supplier contact, pickup reference and ready date, along with any appointment requirements.
Do you offer freight shipping from Grand Rapids to Canada?
Yes. We arrange pickups in Grand Rapids and surrounding West Michigan communities for shipping to Canada.
Share the shipment size and destination so we can compare LTL and truckload options.

Shipping options and timing
How long does freight shipping between Michigan and Canada take?
The pickup location, Canadian destination and service determine the timing. A shipment between Detroit and the GTA has a different timeline from freight connecting through Toronto to Western Canada.
The run between a Detroit-area address and our Toronto terminal is typically 2 business days each way, and the transit times above are measured from that dock — so those two legs together come to around 9 to 10 business days for a Vancouver shipment. Canadian final delivery and any wait for the next scheduled departure are on top of that. See how departures and transit work.
Can I book a full truckload between Michigan and Canada?
Yes. We arrange dedicated truckload transportation in both directions.
The equipment and route are planned around your shipment, so a full truckload does not necessarily need to pass through our Toronto terminal.
Costs
How much does it cost to ship a pallet from Michigan to Canada?
Pricing depends on both addresses, packaged dimensions, total weight and any handling requirements.
Send those details with your ready date and we’ll compare suitable options. Include any liftgate needs or delivery appointments so they can be priced upfront. Duties and taxes are additional.
Customs and paperwork
What paperwork is needed to ship freight from Michigan to Canada?
Commercial freight generally needs a commercial invoice and a bill of lading. The invoice should clearly describe the goods and include their quantity, value, currency and country of origin.
Your customs broker confirms any additional documents required for the shipment.
Can Moto arrange customs clearance?
Yes. Clearance can be arranged through our licensed customs brokerage partner. If you already work with a broker, we coordinate with them instead.
Pickup and delivery
Can you collect or deliver freight somewhere without a loading dock?
Yes, with suitable equipment arranged at booking.
Tell us whether there is a forklift, whether a liftgate is needed and whether the location has any truck access restrictions.
