How does Mactrans ensure the security of my freight?
How should I look for when choosing a truck freight company in Canada?
Consider factors such as the company’s experience, reputation, range of services, network coverage, customer service, and technology used for tracking and managing shipments. Mactrans excels above our competition in all these categories.
Why choose truck freight over other shipping methods?
What types of goods can be shipped via truck freight?
Almost any type of goods can be shipped, including raw materials, finished products, temperature-sensitive items, hazardous materials, and oversized loads, depending on the truck and trailer configuration. Mactrans Truck freight in Canada is regulated by Transport Canada, and we adhere to all guidelines and regulations.
How many pallets can fit in a full truckload shipment?
A standard 53-foot dry van can typically hold up to 26 to 30 standard pallets, depending on the pallet size. The standard pallet size is 48″ x 40″, but larger pallets may reduce the overall count. For larger or specialized shipments, we recommend consulting with our team for precise capacity.
What types of freight are best suited for full truckload (FTL) shipping?
Full truckload shipping is ideal for shipments that:
- Are large enough to fill an entire trailer (10+ pallets or over 15,000 lbs).
- Require faster, direct delivery without multiple stops.
- Include freight that is time-sensitive or delicate and cannot be combined with other shipments.
- Require specialized equipment, such as refrigerated or flatbed trailers for temperature-sensitive or oversized cargo.
How much weight can a full truckload shipment carry?
A standard truckload can typically carry up to 42,000 to 45,000 pounds of cargo, depending on the type of trailer and the specific weight limitations in different regions. It’s always best to confirm the weight limits for your shipment with our team to avoid any compliance issues.
How long does it take for a full truckload shipment to arrive?
The delivery time for a full truckload shipment depends on the distance, destination, and route. Typically, shipments can take anywhere from 1 to 5 business days for domestic routes. Cross-border shipments between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico may take slightly longer due to customs processes.
How can I reduce my full truckload shipping costs?
To reduce your FTL shipping costs:
- Optimize pallet loading and ensure you use the trailer’s full capacity.
- Use standard pallet sizes to maximize space efficiency.
- Consider shipping during off-peak seasons for lower rates.
