Every mode, one desk.
Most forwarders sell you one leg. Setara quotes and manages the whole shipment: the ocean or air leg, the rail move inland, the drayage off the ramp and the final mile to the door, with customs arranged through a licensed customs broker partner.
The last rail stop before the store shelf.
When an import container rides CN rail into Ontario, it usually ends up in Brampton. The Brampton Intermodal Terminal is CN's largest in Canada, and the distribution centres around it, along Airport Road, Bramalea and the Highway 410 spine, receive freight for national retailers around the clock. For a huge share of Canadian imports, Brampton is the last rail stop before the store shelf.
Setara plans the whole journey that ends there: the ocean booking at origin, the rail move inland, the drayage off the BIT ramp, and the full truckload distribution out of Brampton to anywhere in Canada or the US. Customs is arranged through a licensed customs broker partner, and the whole file stays with one account manager. Moving freight west or east from Brampton?

Straight answers.
My container discharges at the Brampton Intermodal Terminal. Can you pick it up?
Yes. Setara Transport, our group’s carrier, pulls containers off the BIT ramp, and if you want one partner for the whole file we can also manage the ocean leg and the rail move that got it there.
Can you manage a full import from overseas to our Brampton DC?
Yes. Ocean or air at origin, rail inland, drayage off the ramp and delivery to your dock, with customs arranged through a licensed customs broker partner. One desk, one file, one invoice.
Can you handle our outbound truckloads from Brampton?
Yes. We book full trailers out of Brampton across Ontario, into Quebec, across Canada and cross-border into the US, including multi-stop distribution centre runs when the trailer leaves full. We do not book LTL or partial loads.
What does freight forwarding in Brampton cost?
It depends on mode, lane, cargo and timing, so we price each shipment individually. Send the details through the quote form and you get a real number, not a rate card.
