Cross-border and domestic trucking solutions for LTL, FTL, and specialized freight across Canada, USA, and Mexico.
BENEFITS
Cross-Border Expertise
A truck showing up at the border without proper documentation doesn’t just delay your shipment it can hold up an entire production line or miss a retail delivery window entirely. FNR Logistics files PAPS, PARS, and all required customs paperwork before your freight reaches the crossing. We know the Canada-US and US-Mexico corridors, and we keep shipments moving through without the holdups that catch shippers off guard.
Flexible Capacity Options
Some shipments need a full trailer. Most don’t. We match capacity to cargo LTL consolidation for loads that share space, FTL when you need the whole truck, and dedicated fleet arrangements for clients who ship regularly enough to benefit from reserved capacity. Paying for trailer space you’re not using is a cost that adds up quietly. We help you avoid it.
Real-Time GPS Tracking
You’ll know where your freight is without having to call anyone. Our tracking system gives clients live GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery once the shipment is signed off. If a delay comes up, you hear about it from us before you’re waiting on an overdue truck. That visibility matters more than most shippers realize until they’ve been burned by the alternative.
Specialized Equipment Fleet
Dry vans cover a lot of freight, but not all of it. Our carrier network runs flatbeds for open cargo, step decks for tall equipment, reefer trailers for temperature-sensitive goods, and heavy haul configurations for loads that exceed standard road limits. The equipment follows the cargo requirements not the other way around.
Cost-Effective Regional Shipping
Air freight across the continent is fast, but the cost per pound is hard to justify for most cargo that isn’t genuinely urgent. Ground shipping on optimized North American lanes delivers reliable transit times at a fraction of what air charges and for Canada-US movements especially, the difference in door-to-door time is often smaller than shippers expect.
Trucking is still how most freight actually moves across North America and the quality of your ground shipping partner shows up fast when something goes wrong at a border crossing or a delivery window gets missed. FNR Logistics runs ground transportation across Canada, the US, and Mexico with drivers, carriers, and border agents we’ve worked with long enough to trust. Door-to-door service, pre-cleared crossings, and schedules that hold that’s what we’re built around, and it’s what our clients count on.

Industries We Serve
Manufacturing & Industrial
Production schedules don’t have much give. FNR Logistics moves raw materials, inbound components, and outbound finished goods for manufacturers across Canada and into US markets coordinating delivery timing around just-in-time requirements so parts arrive when the line needs them, not a day later.
Construction & Building Materials
Lumber, steel, precast concrete, roofing materials, and heavy equipment all move on job site timelines that don’t flex easily. FNR Logistics handles construction freight with the scheduling discipline that project managers need flatbed capacity for oversized loads and delivery coordination built around site access windows.
Retail & Distribution
Store replenishment, warehouse transfers, cross-docking, and e-commerce last-mile delivery all run on tight windows and tighter margins. FNR Logistics supports Canadian and cross-border retail freight with LTL and FTL services structured around the delivery schedules that distribution centers and retail stores actually operate on.
Agriculture & Food Distribution
Fresh produce moves fast or it doesn’t move at all. FNR Logistics runs refrigerated and standard trucking for agricultural commodities, packaged food products, and grocery distribution across Canadian provinces and US produce corridors keeping farm-to-market and food processing supply chains on schedule year-round.
Less than Truckload (LTL) Shipping.
LTL makes sense when your freight doesn't fill a trailer and you're not willing to pay for the space that sits empty beside it. Your shipment moves alongside compatible cargo heading the same direction, and you're billed for the portion of the trailer you actually use. FNR Logistics coordinates LTL across Canadian provincial lanes and US interstate corridors, handling pickup scheduling, consolidation, transit routing, and final delivery. It works particularly well for businesses with consistent outbound volume that doesn't justify a dedicated truck on every lane.
Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping
A dedicated truck means your freight loads once, doesn't stop at consolidation terminals, and reaches the destination without being touched by anyone else's handling operation. That matters for high-value cargo, fragile goods, or any shipment where fewer touchpoints directly reduce risk. FNR Logistics arranges FTL across Canada and cross-border into the US and Mexico driver coordination, border filing, and delivery scheduling all handled through one team. When the cargo is important enough that shared space isn't an option, FTL is the right call.
Refrigerated Trucking Services
A reefer trailer is only as good as the monitoring behind it. Temperature-controlled trucking for food, pharmaceuticals, or sensitive goods requires consistent maintenance of the required range from the moment cargo is loaded to the moment it's received not just during the highway portion. FNR Logistics works with qualified refrigerated carriers, tracks temperature logs throughout each move, and provides the documentation receivers and regulatory bodies expect at delivery. Cold chain integrity on the road is something we take seriously, not just check a box on.
Flatbed & Heavy Haul Transport
Construction machinery, structural steel, prefabricated building components, industrial equipment, wind turbine parts none of this rides in a standard trailer. Flatbeds allow side and top loading. Step decks handle cargo with height restrictions. Heavy haul configurations carry loads that exceed legal dimension and weight limits on their own permits and routing plans. FNR Logistics manages the full setup: securing specifications, oversize permits, pilot car requirements where applicable, and route planning around bridge ratings and restricted roads. This kind of freight needs real preparation before the truck moves.
Expedited Ground Shipping
When a manufacturing line is down waiting for a critical part, or a retail chain needs emergency replenishment before the weekend, the standard freight schedule isn't the answer. Expedited ground shipping puts a dedicated truck on your freight immediately — direct from pickup to delivery, no consolidation stops, no waiting for a load to fill. FNR Logistics arranges hotshot and expedited trucking across North America for exactly these situations. The cost is higher than standard ground, but it's still well below what air freight charges for the same lane.
FAQ
Ground shipping costs depend on several variables primarily shipment size, weight, distance, and the type of service required. Whether you're moving a single pallet or a full truckload across North America, pricing is calculated accordingly.
Key factors that affect ground shipping rates:
· FTL vs. LTL — full truckloads are priced per load; LTL is priced per pallet or per hundredweight (CWT)
· Distance and route — Canada–U.S. cross-border moves carry additional costs compared to domestic hauls
· Cargo type — refrigerated, hazardous, or oversized freight carries applicable surcharges
· Fuel surcharges — fluctuate with market rates and are applied to most shipments
· Accessorial fees — liftgate service, residential delivery, or time-definite pickups may add to the base rate
At FNR Logistics, we offer competitive ground freight pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a free, customized quote for your specific lane and cargo.
The right choice comes down to your shipment size and budget. LTL (Less Than Truckload) means your cargo shares truck space with other shippers cost-effective for smaller loads. FTL (Full Truckload) gives you the entire truck, offering faster, more direct transit with no shared handling.
Choose LTL if:
· Your shipment is under 10–12 standard pallets
· You want to reduce per-shipment costs
· Flexible transit windows are acceptable
· You ship smaller volumes on a regular basis
Choose FTL if:
· Your cargo fills or nearly fills a standard trailer
· You need faster, non-stop point-to-point delivery
· Your goods are fragile, high-value, or sensitive to handling
· You require a dedicated truck for security or compliance reasons
At FNR Logistics, we handle both FTL and LTL shipments efficiently across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Not sure which option fits best? Contact us and we'll recommend the most cost-effective solution for your load.
Cross-border ground transit times between Canada and the U.S. depend on the origin, destination, border crossing, and service type selected. Here are general timeframes to help you plan:
· Quebec / Ontario to U.S. Northeast: 1–2 business days
· Canada to U.S. Midwest: 2–4 business days
· Canada to U.S. South or West Coast: 4–7 business days
· Canada to Mexico: 5–10 business days
Customs processing, border wait times, and documentation completeness all affect final delivery timelines.
