Where we run
Flatbed from Ontario to Quebec and Western Canada
Fission Logistics runs Conestogas out of Mississauga to Montreal, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Steel, aluminum, pipe and building products stay on one trailer the whole way, most of it covered without a tarp. A heavy Quebec load can go on a 4 axle unit.

| Ontario to Saskatoon | Steel, pipe, building products | Conestoga or open flatbed |
| Ontario to Calgary and Edmonton | Aluminum extrusion, steel, machinery, building products | Conestoga, tandem |

Why shippers use us across Canada
- The load stays on one trailer, with one tracking link, from dock to dock. Nothing gets cross docked on the way.
- We run 90 tandem Conestogas, so aluminum, steel and building products ride dry without a tarp or the marks a tarp can leave.
- Our 8 four axle units carry more than a tandem on Ontario and Quebec loads, under Canadian weight allowances. Send the weight and dispatch will tell you which trailer it goes on.
- Dispatch answers 24 hours, which matters when the truck is 3 time zones west.
- Our claims ratio is under 0.1 percent, long lanes included.
How a Canada lane gets quoted
Send the pickup city, the delivery city, the commodity, the weight and the date. We quote within 1 business hour, with the trailer named. For a regular lane, add loads per month.
Questions shippers ask
Do you run Ontario to Alberta and BC on Fission trucks?
Yes. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver loads run on Fission trucks and trailers, mostly with company drivers, all under our safety program.
Is Quebec a regular lane?
Yes. Montreal and Quebec City are regular lanes in both directions, on tandems and 4 axle units. Most Quebec deliveries are next day from the GTA.
Which trailers go west?
53 ft Conestogas for anything that has to stay dry, and open flatbeds for long steel the crane picks from the top. The 4 axle units stay in Ontario and Quebec, so western loads ride tandems at tandem weights.
Can I get a return load priced with it?
Yes. Send both legs and dispatch quotes them together.
