Where we run
Flatbed carrier for North York and Toronto
Toronto pickups mean tight docks, short appointment windows and traffic on the 401. Fission Logistics is just west of the city in Mississauga. We haul steel, machinery and building products out of North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough on Conestogas, open flatbeds and multi axle units.
What moves in North York
Most of our Toronto pickups are at steel service centres, machine shops, racking plants and building product distributors. Palletized product goes in a Conestoga. Long steel the crane picks from the top goes on an open flatbed.

Why Toronto shippers use us
- Our drivers know Toronto docks and where a 53 ft trailer can and can't turn.
- Heavy steel staying in Ontario can ride a multi axle unit, so an order that often takes 2 tandems can move on 1 truck.
- Our claims ratio is under 0.1 percent.

Questions shippers ask
How often do you pick up in Toronto?
Regularly. North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough are part of our GTA runs.
Can you do same day in North York?
Often, when a truck is close. It is never guaranteed, so call dispatch with the dock, the window and the load.
Do you handle tight docks and appointment windows?
Yes. Tell dispatch the window and what the dock can take, and they send a trailer that fits.
