Appointment Freight to Distribution Centres Done Right
Hitting every DC window, every time. Proactive scheduling, careful load planning, and relentless status checks get your freight into appointment-only distribution centres without rejections or delays.
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.

- Deliver to major retail DCs
