Canada to Oregon

LTL and truckload shipping from Canadian businesses and suppliers to Portland and destinations across Oregon. Pickup, border arrangements and final delivery coordinated around your shipment.

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. Equipment, pickup and delivery timing are quoted for the load.

Departures & transit

When it leaves. How it gets there.

Oregon to Canada
Northbound LTL moves through our Portland terminal. Depending on available volume and trailer space, shipments leave on a direct consolidation to Canada or join our California linehaul as it travels north. Your quote confirms the departure, any Canadian connections and estimated delivery timing.
Canada to Oregon
Scheduled LTL leaves our Surrey terminal on Tuesdays, with estimated terminal-to-terminal transit of 1 business day to Portland. Shipping from Calgary, Toronto or elsewhere in Canada? We’ll confirm the service and connections from your pickup location.

Local pickup, final delivery and any wait for departure add time to the terminal estimates. Include your required delivery date when requesting a quote.

Our M.O.

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.

4

Get updates. Without asking for updates.

Get your freight. And your paperwork.

    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.

    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
