    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

    Scheduled northbound LTL connects Dallas–Fort Worth with Vancouver and Calgary. Other Canadian destinations and southbound shipments are arranged through suitable services, with routing and timing confirmed for the shipment.

    Where in Texas can you pick up and deliver freight?

    Service covers Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Laredo and other Texas communities.

    For DFW shipments, pickup areas include Dallas, Fort Worth, Grapevine, Arlington, Irving and Grand Prairie. Send the exact ZIP code so we can confirm local service and any connection to the departure terminal.

    Which Canadian cities do you serve from Texas?

    We arrange shipping between Texas and Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and other Canadian destinations.

    Scheduled northbound Moto services from Grapevine run to Vancouver and Calgary. Other destinations may involve connecting transportation or a separately arranged service. Your quote confirms the routing and estimated total transit.

    Shipping options and timing

    Can I ship one pallet between Texas and Canada?

    Yes. LTL lets one pallet or several travel with other freight without reserving a whole trailer.

    Send the packaged dimensions, total weight, pallet count and whether the freight can be stacked. Include any loading restrictions or special handling so the quote reflects the shipment.

    How long does freight shipping between Texas and Canada take?

    Scheduled northbound LTL leaves Grapevine on Fridays, with estimated terminal-to-terminal transit of 3-4 business days to Vancouver and 2-3 business days to Calgary.

    The full timeline also includes local pickup, final delivery, any connections and waiting for departure. Other destinations and the reverse direction run on different schedules. Send both addresses and your required delivery date for an estimate covering the whole move.

    Do you offer full truckload shipping between Texas and Canada?

    Yes. Full truckload provides a dedicated trailer for shipments that need the space, specific handling or a different schedule from the LTL consolidations.

    Pickup, delivery and equipment are arranged for the load. Machinery, building materials and freight needing open-deck equipment can be quoted through our specialized freight service.

    Costs

    How much does freight shipping between Texas and Canada cost?

    The price depends on the origin, destination, packaged dimensions, weight, trailer space and service requirements. Non-stackable freight, residential stops, appointments and liftgate service can affect the rate.

    Send your ready date and delivery requirements with the freight details. We’ll explain the transportation charges and identify brokerage and other separately priced services. Duties and taxes are additional.

    Customs and paperwork

    Can Moto arrange customs clearance, or can I use my own broker?

    Both. If you have a customs broker, give us their details when booking and we’ll coordinate the shipment paperwork with them.

    If you need clearance arranged, we work through our licensed customs brokerage partner. Confirm the arrangements before departure so the documents reach the right people. How customs clearance works.

    What documents do I need to ship freight between Texas and Canada?

    For commercial freight, provide a commercial invoice with clear product descriptions, quantities, values, currency and countries of origin, along with the shipment information needed for the bill of lading.

    A packing list, origin documentation, permits or other records may also be required. Requirements depend on the goods and the direction of travel, so send the details early for review with the broker.

    Pickup and delivery

    Can you pick up or deliver without a loading dock?

    Yes, where suitable equipment and site access are available. Tell us whether each location has a dock, forklift or neither, and include the shipment’s dimensions and weight.

    Liftgate service, also called tailgate service in Canada, has to be arranged before pickup. Residential delivery, appointments and any additional unloading requirements also need to be included in the booking.
