Our M.O.

Good at pickups. Better at follow-through.

1

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.

2

Pick the option that fits.

We compare suitable services, explain the costs and estimated transit times, and confirm what’s included. You choose what works. Book through the portal or leave the booking to us.

3

We coordinate the move.

Pickup, terminal connections and delivery arrangements stay with your Moto contact. Crossing the border? Use your own customs broker or have clearance arranged through our licensed brokerage partner.

    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

    Los Angeles freight FAQs

    Before you book a pickup

    Costs and services

    How much does freight shipping from Los Angeles cost?

    Pricing depends on the pickup and delivery ZIP or postal codes, packaged dimensions, total weight and service needed. Send those details with your ready date for a quote.

    Include any liftgate needs, residential addresses or delivery appointments so they can be priced before booking.

    Can I ship just one pallet from Los Angeles?

    Yes. Less-than-truckload is for exactly that – your pallet shares a trailer with other freight and you pay for the space it takes rather than the whole truck.

    Full truckload is there when a shipment needs the trailer to itself or a schedule of its own. Send the details and we’ll compare the two.

    Can you pick up from my supplier in LA, Orange County or the Inland Empire?

    Yes. Pickup areas include Los Angeles, Commerce, City of Industry, Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Ontario, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside and surrounding communities.

    Send your supplier’s address, contact details, pickup reference and hours. We’ll coordinate collection once the freight is ready.

    Can you pick up or deliver without a loading dock?

    Yes, but tell us before booking. Let us know whether there’s a loading dock, forklift or neither, along with the shipment’s dimensions and weight.

    We’ll confirm suitable equipment and whether liftgate service is needed, so it is priced and scheduled rather than discovered at the door.

    Do you offer container unloading and cross-docking in Fontana?

    Yes. Containers are emptied at the dock and the freight prepared for onward shipping, cross-docked straight onto an outbound truck, or held short-term until its next move.

    Tell us the container number, the arrival window and what’s inside so the dock and the equipment are ready for it.

    Shipping to Canada

    Do you ship freight from Los Angeles to Canada?

    Yes, in both directions. Scheduled LTL leaves our Fontana terminal for Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, with Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal and other Canadian destinations reached through connecting transportation from those terminals.

    Your quote confirms the routing and the estimated total transit, including any connection. For the Vancouver lane in detail, see Los Angeles–Vancouver freight shipping.

    How long does freight shipping from Los Angeles to Canada take?

    Scheduled LTL leaves Fontana for Vancouver on Tuesdays and Fridays, an estimated 2-3 business days; for Calgary on Fridays, 2-3 business days; and for Toronto on Fridays, 4-5 business days.

    Those figures are terminal to terminal. Local pickup at your end and delivery at the other are additional, so tell us both addresses and we’ll quote the whole move.

    Can I use my own customs broker?

    Yes. Give us your broker’s details when you book, and we’ll coordinate the shipment paperwork with them.

    If you need clearance arranged, our licensed customs brokerage partner can handle it, so transportation and clearance stay with one point of contact. How customs clearance works.
