What Is Appointment Freight?

Appointment-only DCs, handled end-to-end

Shipping to appointment-only distribution centres is unforgiving — miss the window and your freight can be turned away, costing time and chargebacks. We understand these complexities and take a proactive approach to planning, communication, and follow-up on every DC delivery.

We carefully plan loads, pick the right equipment, and relentlessly check status throughout the journey, keeping both you and the consignee informed every step of the way. The result is freight that arrives on schedule, compliant with DC requirements, across BC, Alberta, and beyond.

Built for shippers who…

  • Deliver to major retail DCs
  • Face strict appointment windows
  • Risk chargebacks for late arrival
  • Need proactive scheduling handled
  • Ship to grocery & big-box networks
