New York to Canada

Freight picked up near the Ontario border typically reaches our Toronto terminal in 1 to 2 business days; collections from New York City take longer. 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.

Scheduled Moto consolidation services: departure days and estimated terminal-to-terminal transit times for Moto’s westbound lanes out of Toronto.

Calgary Thu 5-6 business days

Canada to New York

LTL and full truckload shipping from Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and other Canadian origins to New York. 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 New York address takes about 1 to 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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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 works
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 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

    New York–Canada freight FAQs

    Straight answers. New York style.

    Service and coverage

    Do you offer freight shipping between New York and Canada?

    Yes. We arrange pallet, LTL and full truckload shipping in both directions, serving New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley and Upstate New York.

    Can you pick up freight in New York City for delivery to Canada?

    Yes. We coordinate pickups across all five boroughs.

    Send the address, shipment details and collection requirements, including appointments, loading access and any building restrictions.

    Can you ship a pallet from Buffalo to Toronto?

    Yes. We arrange pallet and LTL shipping between the Buffalo area and Toronto, including the surrounding GTA.

    Share both addresses, packaged dimensions, weight and ready date for a quote.

    Do you ship freight from Rochester, Syracuse or Albany to Canada?

    Yes. We arrange pickups across these areas for delivery to Canadian destinations.

    LTL freight connects through our Toronto terminal for local delivery or onward shipping.

    Can you ship freight from Canada to Long Island?

    Yes. We arrange deliveries to businesses and receiving locations across Nassau and Suffolk counties.

    Include any delivery appointments, liftgate requirements or truck access restrictions with your quote request.

    Shipping options and timing

    How long does freight shipping between New York and Canada take?

    Timing depends on the pickup location, Canadian destination and service. Buffalo to Toronto and New York City to Vancouver are very different trips.

    From pickups near the Ontario border the run to our Toronto terminal is typically 1 to 2 business days, and the transit times above are measured from that dock. Collections from New York City and Long Island take longer, so we estimate your own route when quoting. See how departures and transit work.

    Can I book a full truckload between New York and Canada?

    Yes. We arrange dedicated truckload transportation in both directions.

    The route is planned around your shipment, so a full truckload does not necessarily pass through our Toronto terminal.

    Costs

    How much does freight shipping from New York to Canada cost?

    The route, packaged dimensions, total weight and service requirements determine the price.

    Send your shipment details and ready date so we can compare suitable options and include any additional pickup or delivery services. Duties and taxes are additional.

    Customs and paperwork

    What documents are needed to ship commercial freight from New York to Canada?

    A commercial invoice and bill of lading are generally required. The invoice should clearly describe the goods and include their quantity, value, currency and country of origin.

    Your customs broker confirms any additional requirements for the goods being shipped.

    Can Moto arrange customs clearance for New York–Canada shipments?

    Yes. We can arrange clearance through our licensed customs brokerage partner, or coordinate with your existing broker.
