Communication

We're 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. Our fleets are tracked using Satellite and GPS technology and the drivers communicate directly with us by cellular phone. Our operating system can send you automatic shipment updates through email. Our on line track & trace portal gives you real time visibility on your shipments. Our people will always answer the phone when you call our number. Phone us as much as you like to check on your shipments. If you don't, we'll call you.

Infrastructure

Our 24 hour/7 day per week intelligence centre is housed in a stand alone facility strategically located in southern Ontario within Canada's "Technology Triangle" keeping us close to cutting edge technology innovation while giving us close proximity to both sides of the border and an experienced staffing pool. We're a 3 hour drive from Michigan and a 2 hour drive from New York. On the United States side of the border our operations are located strategically in areas of high expedite shipment volume. We have our own cross dock and warehouse facilities located in several locations within Ontario, Quebec, and the United States. No one can have an available truck everywhere so in addition to our own fleet of vehicles, we are a member of The Expedite Alliance of North America (TEANA) with hundreds of partner carriers and access to over 10,000 expedite trucks. We have capacity with all of the major airlines in North America. We utilize cutting edge operations software designed with minute by minute shipment monitoring and real time communication capability. Customer communication occurs as much or as little as the customer wants, and is affected through our web based track & trace portal, automatic emails, or good old person to person telephone updates. You won't put much effort into getting us on the phone. Just call the number. If it's an air charter that suits your needs, in over 20 years of doing them we've built a database of thousands of available aircraft ready to jump into action when we need them.

Services

Ground Expedite

Direct Drive

We've got vehicles waiting on standby. Your shipment will be conveyed directly from point to point anywhere in North America in an exclusive use vehicle. We're ready to cover your shipment whether you give us notice or not. Vehicle size will be customized as best suited to your needs and will be dispatched immediately for pick up or scheduled to pick up at the precise time you chose. We'll communicate directly with the driver of the vehicle throughout the shipment via cell phone and Satellite/GPS tracking technology to keep the shipment moving. If time and distance require it we can transfer it at several cross dock locations from one vehicle to another to keep it moving beyond the driver sleep time requirements. There is no maximum or minimum distance. Whether it's 5 miles or 5,000 miles, we'll make it happen.

Air Expedite

Next Flight Expedite

Your shipment is picked up, driven directly to the closest appropriate airport, routed on the most appropriate flight, picked up on arrival at destination airport, and delivered directly to the destination location. Sometimes you need it faster than a truck can do it, and sometimes it's more cost effective to fly it rather than drive it. We'll arrange it all and keep you informed all the way through.

Air Charter

Sometimes a truck isn't fast enough and commercial flight schedules don't meet time requirements either. Sometimes your emergency gets worse the longer it takes for delivery. In those cases, an air charter might be the best solution. Your shipment will be picked up and driven to the closest appropriate airport where we'll arrange an exclusive use aircraft to take it directly through the air to an appropriate destination airport. Then we'll deliver it directly to the destination address in a ground vehicle. We choose the aircraft based on availability, time restrictions, door size requirement, speed requirement, and costs. We'll manage the whole thing and keep you informed all the way through.

On Board Courier

We'll pick up your shipment and one of our On Board Couriers will accompany it on the next available flight. At the destination, our On Board Courier will make sure the shipment gets where it is supposed to go and call you to confirm. Sometimes the situation make this service your best option for peace of mind.

Air Freight

We can do general air freight and consolidations as well. We've got the expertise, so why not.


Dedicated

This is an alternative to owning or leasing a truck and employing a driver for it. We can provide a truck and a driver for you to use as you would if it were your truck and driver. You can get rid of the assets and the headache. We assign the driver to you permanently and cover the driver with a trained back up driver when an absence occurs. You let us manage the truck and driver, and you focus on your business.


Pre-Scheduled/Recurring

We can schedule a recurring shipment for you either indefinitely or for a define period of time. Set it up once and never again.
