Good at pickups. Better at follow-through.
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.
Pick the option that fits.
We compare LTL against a full trailer, 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.
Easy customs clearance.
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.

Let’s bridge a few gaps.
How long does freight shipping take from Vancouver to San Francisco?
Scheduled LTL takes an estimated 2-3 business days from our Surrey terminal to Hayward, with departures on Tuesdays.
That is terminal to terminal. Local collection, delivery and any wait for the next departure are on top of it.
Can you ship freight directly from the Bay Area to Vancouver?
Yes. We can arrange direct transportation from the Bay Area to Surrey through our carrier network. Freight can also connect through Fontana to Moto’s northbound service.
Your quote identifies the route and estimated timing.
Can you pick up from my supplier in the Bay Area?
Yes. Send your supplier’s address, collection contact, pickup reference and hours.
Include any appointment or release requirements so collection can be arranged once the freight is ready.
How much does it cost to ship a pallet between Vancouver and the Bay Area?
Send the pickup postal or ZIP code, the delivery address, packaged dimensions and total weight. Include whether the pallet is stackable and whether either end needs a tailgate or a delivery appointment.
Duties and taxes are separate, and any customs brokerage fee is shown before you book.
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.
Can you collect or deliver somewhere without a loading dock?
Yes, with suitable equipment arranged at booking. Tell us whether a forklift is available, whether a liftgate is needed and whether the location has any truck access restrictions.
Include residential addresses when requesting your quote.
Can I use my own customs broker?
Yes. Give us your broker’s details when you book and we will coordinate the shipment paperwork with them. If you need clearance arranged, our licensed customs brokerage partner can handle it.
What information do you need to book a Bay Area–Vancouver shipment?
Both addresses, shipping contacts, a description of the goods, pallet or piece count, packaged dimensions, total weight and your ready date.
For commercial cross-border freight we will also ask for the commercial invoice and customs details.
