300 company trailers
150 × 53-ft air-ride dry vans (logistic-post and swing-door, 48×40 pallets double-stacked) and 150 multi-temp reefers, hauled by 200 ELD-compliant, satellite-tracked tractors on a 15,000 km maintenance cycle.
Services · Truckload
Full truckload or a single pallet. Same carrier, same care.
Whether you have a full trailer or a few pallets, your freight rides on equipment we own and drivers we employ. No minimums, no long-term contracts, no hidden fuel-surcharge math — just clean pricing on 300 trailers moving between Canada and the US every day.
FTL is the core of what we do: one shipper, one trailer, one destination, no re-handling and no waiting for other pickups. LTL is run as a real consolidation operation out of our Brampton warehouse — inbound pallets from multiple shippers staged and shipped as full loads, so you get FTL transit times and handling quality at LTL pricing.
Truckload
What you get
- Full truckload. Exclusive use of a 53-ft air-ride dry van, point to point, no other freight on the deck. Your load goes on the truck and it moves — quoted within the hour, all-in, with no retroactive DOE-index fuel adjustments you never agreed to.
- Less-than-truckload. A consolidation operation, not a side offering. Pallets from multiple shippers are staged at our Brampton warehouse and shipped as full loads to US distribution centres — your freight rides on our truck with our driver, not subcontracted through three carriers and a broker.
Capabilities
How our ftl & ltl trucking works for you
One carrier, every lane
Domestic GTA, inter-provincial, and cross-border on the same fleet, so a single point of contact owns your freight end to end — and FTL or LTL clears the border faster on our CT-PAT and FAST authority.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between FTL and LTL?
FTL (full truckload) gives you exclusive use of a 53-ft trailer point to point — your freight does not share space or get re-handled. LTL (less-than-truckload) consolidates your pallets with other shippers so you only pay for the space you use, ideal when you do not fill a full trailer.
Is there a minimum shipment size?
No. We move anything from a single pallet on an LTL basis up to a full 53-ft truckload. Tell us the commodity, weight, and dimensions and we will quote the right mode for the freight.
How does Alpha Trans price FTL freight?
All-in. Our FTL rate includes fuel, and we do not adjust it retroactively based on a DOE fuel index. You get one clean number, usually within an hour of your quote request.
Do you broker freight or run your own trucks?
We are asset-based. Your freight rides on our 200 company tractors and 300 company trailers with our employed drivers — never subcontracted off a load board to whoever is cheapest that week.
Can you handle cross-border FTL and LTL?
Yes. We are CT-PAT, FAST, and PIP certified and bonded in both countries, so full and partial loads clear the Canada–US border as known, low-risk shipments rather than waiting in the general queue.
