RR-ROAD COVERAGE

Where we run

California to Canada, and everywhere between.

Based in Fresno. Main lane Los Angeles ⇄ Toronto. And anywhere else in the lower 48, or across the border, that your freight needs to go.

The main lane

Los Angeles ⇄ Toronto.

About 2,500 miles of open-deck freight between Southern California and Southern Ontario, both directions. The schematic below is a lane, not a route: the roads and the crossing for each load depend on its size and its permits.

UNITED STATES CANADA Toronto ON · EAST END Los Angeles CA · WEST END FRESNO · HOME BASE ABOUT 2,500 MILES
Main lane, schematic. Each load’s roads and border crossing are set by its size and permits.

Three zones

Start here, finish anywhere.

The same truck, the same trailers and the same people, whichever zone your load starts and ends in.

Z1

California

Home ground. Fresno sits on Highway 99 in the middle of the Central Valley, between the farm country, the Bay Area and Southern California.

  • Central Valley farm and processing equipment
  • Machinery to and from the Los Angeles basin
  • Northern and Southern California, and between them

Z2

The lower 48

Anywhere a road goes. Long hauls east, regional runs into the neighboring states, and one-off moves to wherever the equipment is needed next.

  • Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and the rest of the West
  • Coast to coast, either direction
  • Oversize permits for every state on the route

Z3

Canada

Our main lane ends in Toronto, and the border is part of the plan from the first call. Freight goes north into Canada and south out of it.

  • Ontario, on the main lane
  • Into and out of other provinces on request
  • Provincial oversize permits where the load needs them

What decides the route

Miles are the easy part.

Distance sets the floor. Four other things decide how a heavy load actually travels — and every one of them is settled before we quote.

The load’s size

An oversize load can only use the roads its permits name, at the times they allow — sometimes daylight only, sometimes no weekends, sometimes with escort vehicles.

The crossing

Not every border crossing suits every load. Oversize freight crosses where the permits on both sides join up, so the crossing is chosen per load.

Mountains and seasons

The Sierra Nevada and the Rockies close passes, add chain controls and change in winter. The route is planned around the season, not just the map.

Hours of service

Federal hours-of-service rules limit how long a driver may drive and require rest. Honest delivery plans start from those limits.

Crossing into Canada

In, out — but not around.

Cabotage rules let a US carrier bring freight into Canada and take freight out of it. A load from one Canadian city to another needs a Canadian carrier.

How cross-border loads work
01 Do you only run Los Angeles to Toronto?

No. It is our main lane, but we haul anywhere in the lower 48 states, and into and out of Canada. Tell us the pickup and delivery and we will tell you how we would run it.

02 Can you pick up outside California?

Yes. Loads can start anywhere we run — a load from Texas to Ontario, or from Ontario back to California, is quoted the same way as one that starts in Fresno.

03 Can you move a load from one Canadian city to another?

No. As a US carrier, cabotage rules let us haul into Canada and out of Canada, but not between two points inside it. That move needs a Canadian carrier.

Start a load

Got the dimensions? Get a number.

Send the pickup, the delivery and the size and weight of the load. We come back with a price and a plan — trailer, route, and permits if it needs them.

A quote needs

  1. 01 Pickup and delivery City and state or province — a ZIP or postal code is even better.
  2. 02 What it is Make and model for equipment; a plain description for anything else.
  3. 03 Length × width × height To the highest and widest point, including anything that sticks out.
  4. 04 Weight The operating or shipping weight, with attachments.
  5. 05 How it loads Drives on, forklift, crane or dock — at both ends.
  6. 06 When it is ready A date, or a window.
