Flatbed carrier for Toronto
Toronto flatbed work is tight docks, short site windows and the 401 in between. Fission Logistics is just west of the city in Mississauga. We haul steel, machinery and building products into and out of Toronto, Etobicoke and Scarborough on Conestogas, open flatbeds and multi axle units, and we deliver structural steel and building products to jobsites in the city.

Jobsite deliveries in the city
Give dispatch the site address, gate hours, site contact and crane window when you book. The driver calls the site before arriving. If the site isn't ready when the truck gets there, dispatch calls you.
Toronto loads run the same lanes as every GTA pickup: Hamilton and Peel, west on the 401 to Windsor, the US through Detroit or Buffalo, and Quebec and Western Canada. See Ontario domestic and cross border.
Why Toronto shippers use us
- The yard is on Dixie Rd in Mississauga, just west of the city, so a Toronto pickup is a short deadhead.
- Heavy steel staying in Ontario can ride a multi axle unit, so an order that often takes 2 tandems can move on 1 truck.
- Every tractor runs live GPS. Ask for a tracking link and dispatch sends it.
- Our claims ratio is under 0.1 percent.

Questions shippers ask
Can you do same day in Toronto?
Often, when a truck is close. It is never guaranteed, so call dispatch with the dock, the window and the load.
My dock can't take a 53 ft trailer. What then?
Tell dispatch what the dock can take and how the freight is loaded, and they send a trailer that fits.
What happens if the jobsite isn't ready when the truck arrives?
The driver calls the site before arriving. If the site isn't ready, dispatch calls you and you decide what the truck does next.
Do you haul from Toronto into the US?
Yes. Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky through Detroit or Buffalo. You use your own customs broker. We are CTPAT validated and file ACE and ACI.
