How We Make Your Rail Solution Happen
PiVAL’s rail solutions are the result of a carefully curated and refined roster of services, facilities and equipment that we leverage to deliver your customized solution.
EMP - Equipment Management Program
Partnering with PiVAL gives you access to over 40,000 EMP 53 ft, top-quality domestic containers, including high-cube & ultra-wide sizes — available across our expansive North American rail network (Canada, U.S., Mexico).
Cross Docking & Transloading
PiVAL’s cross docking facilities and expertise at major Canadian ports of entry, PiVAL Surrey and PiVAL Lachine (Montréal), means ocean containers spend minimal time on the ground, which lowers demurrage costs – and speeds up deliveries too.
Transloading is a critical link in leveraging multimodal transportation solutions, including rail, to keep your supply chain flowing and reduce costs. We’re equipped to reliably transload your freight to or from rail, at major ports and markets across Canada.
Rail Service Warehouses
PiVAL’s Lachine (Montréal) and Oshawa (Toronto) multi-modal facilities include enclosed multi-railcar capacity, alongside truck transport docks, to facilitate faster and simpler drayage and last-mile delivery.

PiVAL’s Intermodal Transportation network delivers a number of benefits versus over-the-road (OTR) options, especially for long hauls.
- Faster movement of goods
- Minimal disruptions in transit
