What moves in Vaughan
Concord and Woodbridge are packed with steel fabricators, rebar shops, machine builders and building product plants, and the yards along the 400 feed construction across the GTA. Their freight ships on skids, in bundles and as crated machines, so one pickup can need a different trailer from the next. Tell us what it is and dispatch picks the trailer. One Concord fabricator's 120 inch crate rode a step deck from North York, quoted in 47 minutes.

Steel and rebar to GTA jobsites
A lot of Vaughan steel is going to a site, not a dock. The driver needs the site contact, the gate, the unload window and who is lifting. Give dispatch those with the booking and the driver calls ahead so the crane is not waiting. Beams, columns and rebar ride on an open deck with chains and edge protection so they come off from the top. Overlength pieces are quoted with the dimensions, and anything wider than 2.6 m gets an Ontario permit, arranged in house. See how wide a load can be in Ontario.
Trucking companies in Concord, Woodbridge and Maple
From our yard the 407 runs straight to the 400, so a Concord or Woodbridge pickup is a short run and a truck is often close when the dock is ready. Freight heading south goes to North York and Toronto; east along the 407 to Markham and the rest of York Region; west to Brampton and the Peel plants. Up the 400 we run Barrie and Sudbury; down the 401 we run Kitchener and London on regular runs and Windsor every day.
Into the US from Vaughan
A Concord or Woodbridge load for the US is booked the same way as a local one: tell us what it is and dispatch picks the trailer. Michigan, Indiana and most of Ohio cross at Detroit, on the Ambassador Bridge, or the Gordie Howe International Bridge when the lane calls for it. New York, Pennsylvania and Cleveland cross at Buffalo. We are CTPAT validated and PIP and FAST approved, and dispatch files ACE and ACI on every cross border load. Your customs broker clears the entry. See Ontario to Michigan, Ontario to New York and cross border trucking. Quebec and Western Canada run on the same trucks; see Quebec and Western Canada.
