Paperwork ready before the wheels turn, so the crossing stays a formality.
[ WHAT IS CROSS-BORDER EXPEDITED ]
Most border delays are paperwork, not traffic
A truck stopped at the crossing is rarely stopped by the queue. It is usually stopped because something in the paperwork is incomplete. We work the documentation with your broker before the load moves, so the driver reaches the booth with a complete file and keeps going.
-
01
Documents first, wheels second
The file is built and confirmed with your broker before dispatch, not while the truck is waiting.
-
02
Both directions, one team
Southbound and northbound on the same dedicated vehicle, with the same dispatcher on both sides.
-
03
Visibility through the crossing
Updates at pickup, at the border and on delivery, so a hold is something you hear about, not something you discover.

-
HARD DEADLINE
Appointment on the far side
A dock appointment that a day at the line would cost you. Documentation first, then dispatch.
-
CARRIER FAILURE
Load stranded near the line
A carrier stopped short of the border. We take the freight direct and finish the run.
