Where we run
Flatbed carrier for Windsor and the Detroit crossing
Windsor is a daily lane for Fission Logistics out of Mississauga, and Detroit is 1 of our 2 main crossings, with Buffalo. The freight here follows the auto plants: dies, machinery, coil for stamping and supplier parts moving between Essex County and Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.

The crossing
Windsor is the last stop before the Detroit crossing. We're CTPAT validated and PIP and FAST approved, and the manifest is filed before the truck reaches the bridge. Your customs broker clears the freight.
Plant shutdowns, weekend die moves and rush runs into Michigan are what we're known for here.
Why Windsor shippers use Fission
- We have 4 step decks and 3 double drops for tall dies and machines.
- Our trucks come back from Michigan and Ohio, so we take freight into Windsor too.
- Dispatch answers 24 hours, which matters when a die has to move at 2 am.
Questions shippers ask
Is Detroit a regular crossing for you?
Yes. Detroit and Buffalo are our main crossings. Windsor is a daily lane, so your load goes on a run we make every day.
Can you move a die on short notice?
Yes. Call dispatch with the die size, the weight and the window. Border paperwork is routine for us.
Do you serve the rest of Essex County?
Yes, and the plants along the 401 back toward London.
