Local Cartage and Per Skid LTL: GTA and Southern Ontario Coverage

Look for our trucks on open highways and squeezing through narrow city streets. With truckload service and less than truckload delivery available, QRC can help you meet your logistical challenges.

For those without access to dock level doors, our fleet of 5-ton delivery trucks are equipped with tailgate delivery systems to effectively load and unload your skids. Otherwise we have tractor trailers that are available for your truckload, and partial truckload shipments.

Years of experience have given us the chance to encounter all kinds of challenges associated with deliveries inside and outside of a major city. Here is how we channel that experience into flexible solutions for your business.

LTL Ecommerce Fulfillment

The rise of ecommerce is re-shaping less than truckload delivery. Retailers doing business online require a higher frequency of deliveries and rely on excellent delivery experiences to entice customers. With decades of experience in LTL delivery, our distribution services have the knowledge to adapt to this market’s evolving needs.

Subscribers to our ecommerce fulfillment services benefit from our electronic data interchange. Proper communication keeps you informed and access to major e-com portals provide you with the most up-to-date information on your inventory.

You can also maintain maximum flexibility for your business with our dropship option. Make your sales without having to concern yourself with the logistics behind the scenes.

Flexible Delivery Options to Your Location

Schedule deliveries that work best for your operations. Your order will arrive precisely when you need it, at 9am, noon, and 5pm. Or, choose from our three levels of service, including:

Same Day. Shipments called in by 11 a.m. are delivered by 5 p.m. in the same business day.
3 Hour. Delivery within 3 hours from the time we receive your order.
Overnight. Pickups called in by 3 p.m. are picked up and delivered the next day by 5 p.m.
For qualifying LTL shipments, pricing typically starts with a first-skid minimum. Additional skids picked up at the same time are billed at a reduced portion of the base rate, helping make multi-skid local deliveries more cost-effective.

If you need scheduled service or cutoff times outside of these options, contact QRC to confirm availability for your lane.

Reverse Logistics

QRC helps move returns, surplus products, and recovered goods back through your supply chain with efficient reverse logistics support. Whether products are coming back from retailers, customers, or distribution points, our team helps keep the process organized, timely, and cost-effective.
