THE SERVICES, EXPLAINED
One trailer, two carriers, zero downtime.
Trailer interchange is how cross-border freight moves when a US carrier can't operate in Canada — or vice versa. Instead of unloading and reloading the freight into a second truck, the entire trailer gets handed off. The originating carrier drops it. The receiving carrier hooks up, verifies the seal and condition, and continues to final delivery. Done well, it's the fastest way across a border. Done poorly, trailers sit for hours and loads that should deliver in 48 drift into 72.
COMMON USE CASES
Drop-and-hook at border crossings
Bonded trailer transfers under seal
Trailer pool management at exchange yards
Empty repositioning after delivery
OUR PROCESS
A clean handoff every time.
Interchange agreement in place
Equipment standards, insurance responsibilities, seal protocol, handoff windows — settled before the first load. Nothing improvised at the yard.
Coordinated handoff timing
Both dispatch teams work the same ETA. We're at the yard when your trailer arrives — not 45 minutes later. Zero dwell time is the target.
Seal and condition verification
Driver photographs the seal, verifies the number, inspects for damage. Anything off gets documented before we accept the interchange.
Continuation under bond, when needed
Our driver assumes responsibility for the customs seal and completes the in-bond entry. The bond transfers cleanly — no lapse, no re-entry paperwork.
Return of interchanged equipment
Empty trailer returned to your yard per the agreement. Condition documented on return. No surprise damage claims weeks later.
