Canada–U.S. transportation
Canada–U.S. cross-border freight transportation
General freight transportation support for approved cross-border movements, with shipment requirements reviewed before scheduling.
Cross-border planning
A coordinated process for freight moving between Canada and the U.S.
Cross-border freight involves more than distance. The shipment, route, timing, parties, and documentation all need to align.
From its Maple Ridge, British Columbia base, C M T Transport discusses Canada–U.S. freight movements and coordinates transportation details with the shipper and other appropriate parties. Customs brokerage is not represented as a C M T Transport service.
