Transportation Services
Transportation solutions built around your freight.
Eight service lines, one accountable team. Whatever you ship and wherever it needs to go in North America, Trans Link has the equipment, drivers and coordination to move it.
01 · Dedicated capacity for full loads.
Full Truckload (FTL)
Full truckload service across Ontario, Canada, the United States and Mexico on 53' dry vans and refrigerated trailers. Your freight is the only freight on the truck — loaded once, sealed, tracked and delivered direct.
- 53' air-ride dry vans and 53' reefers
- Direct, single-shipment routing
- Drop-trailer programs for shippers with consistent weekly volume
- Live GPS tracking link on request
02 · Reliable service for partial loads.
LTL Transportation
Less-than-truckload service for shipments that don't fill a trailer but still need dependable, tracked transit — including consolidated cross-border service between Ontario and the U.S., and LTL distribution from our Ayr, Ontario warehouse.
- Consolidated Ontario–U.S. service, including the Ontario–California lane
- Pallet-level tracking and communication
- Warehouse consolidation and de-consolidation in Ayr, Ontario
- Appointment and dock scheduling handled by our team
03 · When the clock is the constraint.
Expedited Transportation
Time-critical freight moved with priority dispatch, direct routing and continuous communication. Same-day and next-day options depending on origin and destination, with team drivers available for long-haul expedites.
- Priority dispatch — 24/7
- Direct routing with no terminals or transfers
- Team drivers for continuous movement on long lanes
- Milestone updates from pickup to delivery
04 · Continuous movement on long-haul lanes.
Team Driver Service
Two-driver teams keep freight moving while one driver rests, cutting transit time on long-haul and cross-border lanes such as Ontario to California — and keeping high-value cargo attended at all times.
- Substantially faster transit than solo service on long lanes
- Truck never left unattended — ideal for high-value freight
- One driver always alert and monitoring
- Standard on our long-haul cross-border programs
05 · Frozen, refrigerated and controlled ambient.
Temperature-Controlled Transportation
Refrigerated transportation for food, floral, pharmaceutical and other climate-sensitive freight. Trailers are pre-conditioned, temperature is verified before departure and monitored continuously in transit, and temperature logs are provided with proof of delivery.
- 53' refrigerated trailers with continuous monitoring
- Frozen, refrigerated and controlled-ambient set points
- Temperature log provided with POD
- Chain-of-custody documentation for pharmaceutical freight
06 · Security built into every step.
High-Value Freight
Electronics, aerospace components, luxury goods and other loads worth more than the truck. Trans Link combines team drivers, GPS-tracked trailers, electronic door locks and disciplined stop protocols to keep sensitive cargo secure.
- Team drivers — cargo is never left unattended
- Samsara GPS plus hidden trailer tracking
- Electronic door locks with alerts
- Approved-stop protocol and check-in at every stop
07 · Oversized, project and flatbed.
Specialized Freight
Industrial machinery, crated equipment, energy and construction components — anything that doesn't fit a standard trailer. We coordinate permits, escort vehicles and route surveys, and provide flatbed, step-deck and vertical E-Track trailers for unusual loads.
- Flatbed and step-deck capacity
- Oversize permit coordination and route planning
- Pilot car and escort coordination
- Trailers with vertical E-Track posts for irregular freight
08 · Canada · United States · Mexico.
Cross-Border Transportation
Cross-border freight is what Trans Link was built on. Our team prepares PARS/PAPS and ACE/ACI eManifest submissions ahead of time, coordinates in-bond and bonded shipments where required, and manages Mexico freight through the Laredo and California gateways.
- Customs paperwork prepared before the truck reaches the border
- In-bond and bonded shipment handling
- Canada–U.S. service via Detroit/Windsor, Buffalo/Niagara, Sarnia/Port Huron and Pacific Highway crossings
- U.S.–Mexico freight coordinated through Laredo, Otay Mesa and El Paso
