Expedited ground
This is the service Axfer was founded on: a line is down, a surgery kit is stuck, an AOG part is sitting on the wrong side of a border — and it has to move now. Dispatch assigns a unit within the hour, the vehicle drives straight through, and your freight never touches a terminal floor.
Long lanes run with team drivers so the truck never stops for a sleep break. You get a live tracking link at dispatch and a human check call at every milestone.
- Unit assigned and rolling in under 60 minutes
- Exclusive use — your freight rides alone
- Team drivers on runs over 900 km
- Direct dock-to-dock, zero terminal handling
- Live GPS link plus scheduled check calls
- After-hours, weekend and holiday coverage
Full truckload
Scheduled and on-demand FTL across our twelve core lanes and beyond — 53-foot dry vans for general freight, reefers for temperature-controlled loads, flatbeds and step decks for machinery and building materials.
Shippers with steady volume can lock in dedicated contract carriage: fixed equipment, fixed drivers, fixed rates, and a dispatcher who knows your dock schedule better than your own team does.
- Dry van, reefer, flatbed and step deck
- Dedicated contract carriage programs
- Drop trailers at high-volume docks
- Just-in-time delivery windows
- Hazmat-certified drivers available
- Fuel-surcharge transparency, no hidden accessorials
Less-than-truckload
One to ten skids, priced for the space you actually use. Axfer LTL runs on consolidated schedules along our core lanes — and because we consolidate at our own cross-dock rather than a hub-and-spoke network, most shipments ride one truck, one transfer, done.
That's the difference you feel in claims: less handling means fewer damaged skids and paperwork that matches what actually arrived.
- Daily departures on core lanes
- Single-transfer routing via our own cross-dock
- Skid-level tracking, not just trailer-level
- Liftgate, inside delivery and appointment options
- Volume LTL for 6–14 skid shipments
- Cross-border LTL with consolidated customs entry
Cross-border
The border is where freight promises go to die — unless the paperwork is finished before the wheels turn. Axfer's customs desk pre-clears every international load: PARS/PAPS submitted at booking, broker coordination handled, documents imaged to your inbox.
And because we run the whole route on our own authority, the trailer that loads at your dock is the trailer that delivers — through Canada, the US and into Mexico, with no cargo transfer at the line.
- No cargo transfers at any border
- PARS/PAPS pre-cleared at booking
- CSA, FAST and C-TPAT-aligned procedures
- Customs broker coordination included
- All five major crossings: Ambassador, Blue Water, Peace Bridge, Pacific Hwy, Laredo
- Bonded moves and in-bond entries supported
Air freight & charter
Some deadlines outrun the road. For those, Axfer books next-flight-out capacity, hand-carry couriers who board with your part, or a full charter when the load — or the deadline — demands its own aircraft.
The ground legs are the quiet advantage: our own trucks run the airport pickups and deliveries at both ends, so the "door to door" in the quote is one company's promise, not three.
- Next-flight-out on scheduled carriers
- Hand-carry / on-board courier service
- Full and part charter for oversized or AOG freight
- Door-to-door with Axfer trucks on both ends
- Dangerous goods handling (IATA-trained staff)
- Single quote, single point of contact
Warehousing & cross-dock
Our Mississauga hub keeps freight moving even when it has to pause: short-term staging, re-palletizing, re-work and labeling, and cross-dock transfers that put inbound freight back on an outbound truck the same shift.
It's warehousing built by dispatchers, which means the yard runs on appointments that hold and dock doors that answer the phone. Bonded capability covers freight waiting on customs entries.
- Same-shift cross-dock transfers
- Short-term staging and overflow storage
- Re-work, re-palletizing and labeling
- Bonded-ready for in-transit customs freight
- 24/7 gated yard with camera coverage
- Direct hand-off to any Axfer service
