Tailored transport solutions: LTL and FTL freight services
Q-Trans proudly offers two main transportation methods, perfectly suited to your specific needs: Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight and Full-Truckload (FTL). The ideal choice for your business will depend on the volume, urgency and size of your shipments.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight: smart savings for your smaller shipments in Quebec and beyond
For businesses with transportation needs that are more modest, or with partial loads, Q-Trans’ Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight offers a cost-effective and efficient logistics solution. When your commercial shipments do not require the full capacity of a 53-foot trailer or a straight truck (10 to 26 feet), LTL lets you achieve substantial savings by consolidating your goods with other small deliveries heading to a similar destination.
For example, if four businesses each need to ship 1 to 2 pallets from Montreal to Vancouver, instead of each paying $1,000 for an individual shipment, they can share the cost and bring it down to just $250 per shipment. This shared-load method optimizes trailer utilization, reduces empty space, and frees your business from the constraints and costs of managing partial loads or empty runs, letting you focus fully on your core business.
Q-Trans maximizes your savings through LTL consolidation to major distribution centres such as Amazon, Walmart, Costco and Loblaws across Canada.When a business arranges its own delivery to these centres, it often has to pay a separate appointment booking fee. With our LTL consolidation service, these fees are shared among all customers on the same truck, allowing for a single, optimized appointment. This approach significantly reduces individual costs while simplifying the supply chain for every participating business.As experts in the specific receiving protocols of these centres, we guarantee smooth, compliant and worry-free deliveries.
Direct, fast FTL transport for large volumes and time-sensitive goods
For large businesses with high volumes, oversized items exceeding standard pallet dimensions (48x48x48 inches), or time-sensitive goods, Q-Trans’ Full-Truckload (FTL) freight , Q-Trans guarantees maximum efficiency and expedited delivery. With FTL, your load occupies the entire tractor-trailer exclusively, providing a dedicated, optimized transportation solution.
While the unit cost of Full-Truckload (FTL) freight is higher than shared LTL, the benefits deliver considerable overall value. This dedicated transportation service guarantees a faster delivery time, with optimized transit time from origin to destination. Unlike LTL, FTL avoids multiple pickup and delivery points, allowing our drivers to go directly from the loading site to the unloading point, cutting transit time by at least a day.Another key advantage is the significant reduction in the risk of damage to goods, thanks to minimal or non-existent handling between initial loading and final unloading.
For example, a dedicated FTL delivery from Montreal to Vancouver costs approximately $1,000.
Although this cost is borne by a single customer, direct delivery, increasedspeed and reduced risk of damage deliver an attractive return on investment as well as major operational advantages for your large-scale shipping needs.
