ShipAS provides LTL freight service in Ontario for palletized, skidded, dry van, cross-border, and Canadian bonded shipments moving across the GTA, Buffalo, Western New York, and the Canada/U.S. border.
Not every shipment needs a full trailer.
Sometimes it is one skid. Sometimes it is six pallets. Sometimes it is a partial load that is too small for truckload, too important for parcel, and too annoying to leave to chance.
ShipAS provides LTL freight service in Ontario for dry van shipments moving across the GTA, Southern Ontario, Buffalo, Western New York, and the Canada/U.S. border.
We help shippers, brokers, manufacturers, warehouses, distributors, importers, exporters, 3PLs, and freight teams move palletized, skidded, boxed, cross-border, and Canadian bonded freight when a full truckload is not required.
For broader dry van service, see dry van freight Ontario. For freight that may need a more direct partial option, see direct partial truckload freight and LTL alternative for Ontario shippers.

LTL freight sounds simple.
One skid here.
Three pallets there.
Share the truck. Save the space. Keep things moving.
And sometimes, yes, that is exactly how it works.
Other times, the shipment enters the LTL maze and everyone starts pretending that “in transit” is an actual update.
LTL freight can get messy when:
The freight is handled too many times
Terminal transfers add delay
Pickup windows are missed
Delivery appointments are tight
A small shipment is treated like low priority
Freight gets buried behind larger loads
Piece counts are unclear
Weights change
Cross-border paperwork is incomplete
PODs are slow to arrive
Nobody can explain where the freight actually is
A partial load would have made more sense than standard LTL
LTL is not the problem.
Poor fit is the problem.
Some shipments are perfect for standard LTL. Others need a cleaner, more direct dry van option.
For freight that needs fewer handoffs, see LTL alternative for Ontario shippers. For shipment updates, see freight pickup and delivery updates.

For full trailer moves, see truckload freight Ontario. For cross-border LTL specifically, see cross-border LTL freight.
An Ontario distributor has one pallet going to a customer and three skids going to another location later in the week. The shipments are smaller than truckload, but they still matter to the customer. ShipAS helps with Ontario LTL freight when palletized or skidded freight needs dry van movement, practical scheduling, and real updates.
ShipAS is a strong fit for LTL freight when the shipment is:
Dry van freight
Commercial freight
Palletized or skidded
Properly packaged
Moving within Ontario
Moving within the GTA
Moving between Ontario and Buffalo
Moving between Buffalo and Ontario
Moving between Canada and the U.S.
One skid or multiple pallets
A recurring small shipment
A partial shipment needing clear updates
A cross-border LTL shipment with proper documentation
A bonded shipment with proper release instructions
Important enough that communication matters
We are a good fit for freight that needs practical movement, realistic timing, and fewer “checking with dispatch” clouds.
For urgent small shipments, see same-day and next-day freight GTA and rush freight to Buffalo.
ShipAS may not be the best fit for LTL freight when:
The freight is not dry van freight
The freight is loose or unpackaged
The shipment is residential

The freight requires flatbed equipment
The freight is oversized
The freight requires special handling outside our service
Customs paperwork is missing
Bonded release instructions are missing
The shipment cannot legally move
The delivery timeline is impossible based on pickup, border, and appointment requirements
If your freight is dry, commercial, palletized or skidded, and moving within our service area, ShipAS may be a good fit.
