FAQs
What does a logistics company do?
A logistics company plans and manages how freight moves from one place to another. This includes transportation, scheduling, documentation, tracking, and coordinating deliveries so shipments arrive safely and on time.
What are the different types of freight services?
Freight services include full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), expedited shipping, cross-border transport, oversized freight, intermodal rail, hot shot trucking, and specialized delivery services like Moffett or tailgate delivery.
What is a cross-border shipment?
A cross-border shipment is freight that moves between two countries, such as from Canada to the United States. These shipments require additional documentation and customs clearance before delivery.
Are there customs charges from Canada to the USA?
Yes. Depending on the type of goods being shipped, there may be duties, taxes, and brokerage fees. A logistics provider can help confirm what applies before your shipment moves.
What is the cheapest way to ship from Canada to the USA?
The most affordable option depends on shipment size, urgency, and destination. The experts at Horizon can provide transparent quotes and help you choose the most cost-effective shipping method for your needs.
How long does expedited shipping take?
Expedited shipping is designed to move freight faster than standard service. Delivery times vary based on distance and routing, but shipments are typically delivered within one to two days when possible.
What’s the difference between LTL and FTL?
LTL (less-than-truckload) combines smaller shipments from multiple businesses into one trailer. FTL (full truckload) uses an entire trailer for one shipment, offering faster and more direct delivery.
What is the difference between a Moffett and a forklift?
A Moffett is a truck-mounted forklift that travels with the delivery vehicle and unloads freight on site. A standard forklift stays at a facility and cannot travel with the shipment.
