FAQs
What exactly does a logistics company do?
A logistics company plans and manages how freight moves from pickup to delivery. This includes transportation, scheduling, documentation, tracking, and coordinating each step so shipments arrive safely and on time.
What does a 3PL stand for?
3PL stands for third-party logistics. It means outsourcing parts of your supply chain — like storage, transportation, and distribution — to a logistics partner.
How much do you pay for 3PL?
3PL pricing depends on factors like storage space, shipment volume, handling needs, and delivery frequency. Costs are usually customized rather than fixed.
Can you hotshot in Canada?
Yes. Hot shot trucking is commonly used across Canada for urgent or time-sensitive freight that needs fast pickup and direct delivery.
Do I need a customs form to ship to the USA from Canada?
Yes. Cross-border shipments require customs documentation, including invoices and declarations. A logistics provider can help ensure everything is completed correctly.
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.
