Where the trucks are
The yard is beside Pearson Airport. The office and dispatch are at 1830 Meyerside Dr, a short drive from the yard. The 401, 410, 403, 407 and 427 are all close, so a truck leaving the yard reaches plants in Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto and Milton with little empty running. Trucks come through the yard all day. A late release in Mississauga often still moves the same day, and dispatch answers 24 hours.
What moves in Mississauga
The Mississauga shippers we pick up from are aluminum extruders, steel service centres, roofing and building products distributors, machine shops and die makers, and the warehouses along Dixie Rd. Most of it rides dry in a Conestoga. Heavy steel and aluminum staying in Ontario goes on a multi axle unit. Plate, beams, rebar and pipe are covered on our steel hauling in Ontario page.
| Freight | Where it goes | Trailer we send |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum extrusions and ingots | Extruders and fabricators in Ontario and the US | Conestoga, multi axle |
| Building products and shingles | Yards across the GTA and along the 401 | Conestoga, 53 ft tandem |
| Machinery and dies | Between plants, and to Windsor, Michigan and Ohio | Step deck, double drop |
| Coil and plate from the service centres | Fabricators and jobsites | Open flatbed, Conestoga |
| Partial loads: a few skids, a bundle, a crated machine | Multi stop across the GTA and Ontario | Conestoga, open flatbed |
| Palletized freight for flatbed customers | Same lanes | Dry van |
Why Mississauga shippers use the carrier next door
- Every trailer type we run works out of this yard, so dispatch can match the trailer to the load instead of sending what happens to be free.
- Heavy steel or aluminum that often takes 2 tandems can move on 1 multi axle truck inside Ontario.
- Every tractor runs Samsara GPS. Ask for a tracking link and dispatch sends it within 15 minutes, 7 am to 5 pm ET.
- A load picked up in Mississauga can deliver next day anywhere within 500 miles of the GTA.
How to get a Mississauga load quoted
- Send the pickup address and the receiver, with dock or site hours if you have them.
- Give the commodity, piece count, dimensions and total weight.
- Tell us the date it's ready and whether it has to stay dry or wants an open deck for the crane.
- Dispatch prices it within 1 business hour and names the trailer with the price.
