Cross-border freight,
moved with conviction.

Asset-based. We own and operate roughly 200 company tractors and 300 trailers out of Brampton, Ontario, driven by FAST-approved operators we employ. Your freight never gets posted to a load board or handed to a subcontractor we found that morning — the capacity we quote is the capacity that shows up.

We run daily lanes through Windsor–Detroit, Fort Erie–Buffalo, and Sarnia–Port Huron, with quick access from Brampton via the 407, 410, and QEW. CT-PAT, FAST, and PIP trusted-trader status moves our freight in dedicated, pre-screened lanes, and our ACI/eManifest paperwork is transmitted before the truck reaches the booth — so loads clear at the border instead of waiting at it.

Full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) dry van, multi-temp refrigerated from −20 °F to 70 °F, dedicated fleet on your recurring lanes, and team-driver expedited for time-critical, just-in-time freight. We are HAZMAT-certified and bonded in both countries, with warehousing and cross-dock at our 20,000 sq ft Brampton facility.

Most quotes are answered in under an hour during office hours, and dispatch is staffed 24/7 — including weekends and holidays. One phone number reaches a real dispatcher who knows our fleet, our lanes, and your load; there is no call tree, no voicemail queue, and no broker passing you along.

Yes. Our 150 multi-temp reefers log temperature continuously from pickup to proof of delivery, alert dispatch on any drift off setpoint, and deliver a full printout with the freight. Reefer washouts between loads are standard, and our cold chain meets CFIA and FDA requirements so it holds up to any receiver or auditor.

Alpha Trans was founded in Brampton in 2002 by the Saini family and is still family-owned and family-run from the same East Drive headquarters more than two decades later. Many of our shipper relationships have run 10, 15, even 20 years — because we stayed an operating carrier instead of becoming a broker with trucks on the side.
