Cross Border Truckload
Report
With our head office located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, it only makes sense we would be putting some miles on to connect Atlantic Canada with U.S. markets. As a matter of fact, our average round trip to and from the States is between 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Chicago, Houston, most of the Midwest, and the Carolinas are currently our highest areas of traffic.
Eastern Canada Truckload
Report
The Atlantic Provinces bring in all types of goods to fill the needs of the businesses and industries located here. Consumer goods, including food and household requirements, make up a big part of the commodities we haul. Retail appointments and unassisted, after-hour deliveries are a daily occurrence.
Reefer Service
Report
We transport your goods requiring set temperatures locally, domestically and to and from the USA. Our modern reefer fleet of 53' vans is complemented by a large chassis fleet for your temperature controlled sea containers - transported to and from the port of Halifax. Transporting our customers' temperature controlled truckload requirements was a natural fit given our location in Atlantic Canada and our key lanes of activity.
Drayage Services
Report
The container demurrage charges at ports and rail yards are a daily expense that adds up quickly and can be avoided completely by utilizing our container transport (drayage) service. We have an in-house fleet of 20 and 40 foot chassis and specialized equipment to transport your refrigerated commodities in any length.
Hazardous Goods
Report
Commodities like paints, thinners, oils, pool chemicals, cleaning products, fireworks, batteries and many raw materials have a special rate classification termed hazardous or dangerous goods. You need ongoing training and certification to transport and handle these commodities. GTL has it! Because of the tightening rules governing hazardous goods transport, prompted by 9/11, many carriers moved away from hauling these commodities.
