Most freight starts pretty simply.
A few pallets on a dock.
Wrapped. Counted. Labelled. Ready to go.
Then someone asks whether it should move LTL, partial, truckload, same-day, cross-border, bonded, appointment delivery, or “whatever gets it there without becoming a story.”
ShipAS provides pallet freight service across Ontario, the GTA, Buffalo, Western New York, and the Canada/U.S. border.

Why Pallet Freight Gets Messy
Pallet freight looks organized.
That is one of its tricks.
It may be wrapped nicely, staged at the dock, and sitting there looking innocent.
But pallet freight can still get messy when:
The pallet count changes
Weights are estimated instead of confirmed
Dimensions are missing
The freight is not actually ready
The dock is backed up
Pickup windows shift
Delivery appointments are tight
A one-pallet shipment gets treated like low priority
Too many handoffs create damage risk
Cross-border paperwork is incomplete
Customs broker details are missing
Bonded release instructions are not ready
YYZ-area facility details are unclear
PODs are needed quickly
Nobody knows where the freight is
A pallet may be simple.
The movement around it often is not.
For shipments needing fewer handoffs, see LTL alternative for Ontario shippers and direct partial truckload freight. For update-focused service, see freight pickup and delivery updates.

An Ontario warehouse has one pallet that needs to move to a customer and nobody wants it treated like it is less important just because it is small. The pallet is wrapped, labelled, and ready for dry van transport. ShipAS helps with pallet freight across Ontario, the GTA, Buffalo, Western New York, and the Canada/U.S. border.
ShipAS is a strong fit for pallet freight when the shipment is:
Dry van freight
Commercial freight
Palletized
Wrapped or secured
Properly labelled
Ready for pickup
Moving within Ontario
Moving within the GTA
Moving between Ontario and Buffalo
Moving between Buffalo and Ontario
Moving between Canada and the U.S.
LTL freight
Partial truckload freight
Full truckload freight

Connected to YYZ-area bonded or air cargo facilities
Customer-sensitive freight
Appointment-based freight
Freight requiring POD follow-up
We are especially useful when pallet freight needs clear communication, fewer handoffs, or cross-border dry van experience.
For urgent pallet freight, see same-day and next-day freight GTA and rush freight to Buffalo.
ShipAS may not be the best fit when:
The freight is not dry van freight
The shipment is not commercial freight
The freight is loose or unpackaged
The pallets are unsafe to move
The freight is not ready
The shipment requires refrigeration
The shipment requires flatbed equipment
The shipment requires oversized handling
The freight requires special handling outside our service
Customs paperwork is missing
Bonded release instructions are incomplete
The shipment requires service outside our operating area or authority
If your pallet freight is dry, commercial, properly packaged, and moving within our service area, ShipAS may be able to help.
Pallet Freight, LTL, Partial, or Truckload?
Not every pallet shipment should move the same way.
One pallet may be LTL.
Six pallets may be volume LTL.
Ten pallets may be partial truckload.
A larger shipment may need a full dry van.
A time-sensitive or cross-border shipment may need fewer handoffs than standard LTL.
The right option depends on pallet count, dimensions, weight, timing, delivery requirements, handling sensitivity, cross-border paperwork, and whether the freight needs direct movement.
For LTL options, see LTL freight Ontario. For shipments that sit between LTL and truckload, see direct partial truckload freight. For full-load freight, see truckload freight Ontario.
