Horizon Fast Freight is a dependable residential tailgate freight broker serving Canada and the US. We coordinate liftgate-equipped trucks for large or heavy shipments that require delivery to homes across the continent. With an experienced team of experts and a network of verified carriers, we simplify home freight delivery from quote to drop-off.
Residential Tailgate Freight Delivery Made Simple
Shipping large or heavy items to a home takes extra planning, especially when the receiver doesn’t have the equipment to unload the freight. Our team handles every step of your residential tailgate freight delivery, making sure the right truck, timing, and access details are in place before the shipment leaves the dock.
LTL Shipping to Residential Addresses
Most residential freight is shipped as LTL (less-than-truckload). Horizon helps arrange LTL shipping to residential addresses, assigning the right liftgate-equipped carrier and coordinating delivery times that align with homeowner availability and site conditions.
Home Freight Delivery with Liftgate Support
When a shipment can’t be unloaded by hand, the right shipping equipment makes all the difference. We help arrange home freight delivery with liftgate trucks that lower heavy or crated freight right to the ground without needing a loading dock or forklift.
Liftgate Service for Residential Shipments
Not every truck is built for home delivery. We provide liftgate service for residential shipments using equipment that’s sized for suburban streets and perfect for safe curbside unloading. Liftgate trucks used for residential service typically include:
- Hydraulic lifts that handle up to 2,500 lbs
- Clearance for residential roads and driveways
- Flat decks compatible with pallets, crates, and boxed goods
- Experienced drivers who understand residential access needs
Tailgate Freight for Residential Delivery: Logistics & Coordination
Delivering to a home takes more coordination than a standard dock-to-dock shipment. That’s why we take a hands-on approach to every order involving tailgate freight for residential delivery, whether you need expedited shipping or support with cross-border logistics.
We help with:
- Booking delivery windows that fit the recipient’s schedule
- Adding clear drop-off instructions or gate codes
- Managing curbside access and handling needs
- Notifying all parties before and after delivery
- Flagging any site limitations before dispatch
Common Residential Shipments Requiring Back-of-Truck Delivery
If the shipment is crated, palletized, or over 150 lbs, back-of-truck delivery with liftgate service is usually the safest option. We regularly help customers arrange liftgate-equipped delivery for larger residential shipments that need extra care.
Typical residential freight includes:
- Appliances and large furniture
- Exercise and gym equipment
- Outdoor gear, grills, or patio sets
- Cabinets, countertops, and renovation materials
- Crated tools, electronics, or household equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between back-of-truck delivery and liftgate service?
They’re often used together. Back-of-truck delivery refers to curbside drop-off, while liftgate service refers to the equipment that lowers the freight from the truck to the ground.
Can you coordinate multiple residential deliveries for the same shipment?
Absolutely. We help businesses manage split shipments to multiple homes—ideal for furniture brands, e-commerce orders, or specialty goods.
Are there extra fees for delivering to a residential address?
Most carriers charge an additional fee for residential service and liftgate use. We include these in your quote upfront so there are no surprises.
Do you provide services for tailgate deliveries to businesses?
Yes. In addition to residential service, Horizon also provides commercial tailgate freight delivery for businesses without docks or unloading equipment. We coordinate liftgate-equipped trucks for offices, retail stores, job sites, and other commercial locations across Canada and the US.
