ShipAS provides dry van freight service across Ontario, the GTA, Buffalo, Western New York, and the Canada/U.S. border, including LTL, partial truckload, truckload, cross-border, and Canadian bonded freight.
Dry van freight is supposed to be the simple stuff.
Boxed, palletized, skidded, wrapped, counted, loaded, moved, delivered.
Nice little theory.
In the real world, dry van freight still has pickup windows, delivery appointments, dock delays, border paperwork, missing details, tight timelines, and the occasional “who has the POD?” scavenger hunt.
ShipAS provides dry van freight service across Ontario, the GTA, Buffalo, Western New York, and the Canada/U.S. border. We handle LTL, partial truckload, truckload, cross-border, and Canadian bonded freight for shippers, brokers, manufacturers, distributors, warehouses, importers, exporters, and freight teams that need the freight moved without turning the day into a group project.

Dry van freight sounds simple because the equipment is familiar.
A 53-foot dry van. Pallets. Skids. Boxes. Dock doors. Pickup. Delivery.
Nothing exotic.
And then the real world walks in wearing steel toes.
Dry van freight can get messy when:
Pickup windows shift
Delivery appointments are tight
Freight is not ready when the truck arrives
Piece counts or weights are unclear
Dock delays stack up
A partial load needs better handling than standard LTL
The shipment is too small for a full truckload but too important to disappear into a terminal
Cross-border paperwork is incomplete
Customs details are missing
Bonded freight needs proper release instructions
YYZ-area facility pickups have specific requirements
PODs are needed quickly
Updates are slow, vague, or nonexistent
That is why “just a dry van load” still needs the right carrier.
The equipment may be common. The execution still matters.
For freight that has already gone sideways, see freight rescue for missed pickups and cancelled trucks. For shipments where timing matters, see same-day and next-day freight GTA and rush freight to Buffalo.

We are not trying to make dry van freight sound glamorous.
It is freight. It needs to be picked up, moved, delivered, documented, and communicated. That is the job.
For communication-focused service, see freight pickup and delivery updates. For closing out completed shipments, see proof of delivery / POD freight carrier.
An Ontario warehouse has palletized dry goods moving to multiple customer locations, including a local GTA delivery and a cross-border shipment into Western New York. The freight does not need refrigeration or flatbed equipment, but it does need clean scheduling and clear communication. ShipAS helps with dry van freight that needs practical pickup, delivery, updates, and POD follow-up without turning a normal shipment into a scavenger hunt.
ShipAS is a strong fit for Ontario dry van freight when you need:
One or more skids moved
Palletized freight
Boxed or packaged goods
Dry commercial freight
Partial dry van shipments
Volume LTL freight
Full dry van truckload freight
Repeat weekly or daily freight
GTA to Buffalo dry van freight
Buffalo to GTA dry van freight

Freight requiring updates and POD follow-up
Freight that needs fewer handoffs than traditional LTL
We are especially useful for shipments that sit in the awkward middle: too much freight for parcel, too important for terminal mystery, and not always enough freight to fill a full trailer.
For larger full-load moves, see truckload freight Ontario and cross-border truckload freight. For smaller pallet or skid moves, see skid freight shipping Ontario and pallet freight GTA.
ShipAS may not be the best fit for:
Residential moves
Small parcel shipping
Courier envelopes
Refrigerated freight
Flatbed freight
Oversized freight
Bulk liquid freight
Hazardous freight, unless specifically approved
Loose, unpackaged freight not ready for transport
Personal goods
Freight requiring equipment outside dry van service
Bonded freight without proper paperwork or release instructions
Cross-border freight without customs broker details or required documentation
Airport freight without correct pickup numbers, facility details, or authorization
If your freight is dry, commercial, packaged, properly documented, and moving within our service area, ShipAS may be a good fit.
ShipAS is a Canadian bonded carrier.
That allows us to support bonded dry van freight moving to and from bonded facilities, including YYZ-area freight facilities, bonded warehouses, cross-border freight points, and the Buffalo / Western New York corridor.
This is especially important for air cargo and in-bond freight moving through Canada to or from the United States. Bonded freight often requires tighter coordination, correct documentation, facility-specific pickup details, and a carrier that understands the process.
ShipAS can support bonded dry van freight involving:
YYZ-area bonded facilities
Toronto Pearson airport-area freight
Bonded warehouses in the GTA
Bonded freight pickup and delivery
In-bond dry van freight
Canadian bonded freight
Cross-border bonded freight
Buffalo-area bonded freight movements
Air cargo moving through Canada and the U.S.
Bonded freight is not regular freight with fancier paperwork. It needs to be handled properly from the start.
For more detail, see Canadian bonded freight carrier, YYZ bonded freight and air cargo, GTA to Buffalo bonded freight, and Buffalo to GTA / YYZ bonded freight.
ShipAS also handles dry van freight moving across the Canada/U.S. border.
Common cross-border dry van freight details may include:
Commercial invoice
Customs broker information
PARS / PAPS details
Shipment reference numbers
Shipper and consignee details
Piece count
Weight
Commodity description
Pickup and delivery appointments
Border timing
Bonded release instructions, when applicable
POD requirements
ShipAS does not replace your customs broker, but we understand the carrier side of cross-border dry van freight and work to keep the movement clean, documented, and communicated.
For more detail on documentation and border coordination, see cross-border freight customs support. For trusted-trader and security-related information, see PIP / CTPAT cross-border carrier.
