Your freight forwarder in Hamilton.
Setara Logistics is a freight forwarder in Vaughan that books ocean, air, rail and road freight for Hamilton importers and exporters. Ontario's busiest Great Lakes port, Canada's overnight air cargo hub and the QEW corridor to the US border. We plan complete shipments in and out of Hamilton from one desk.
Sources: HOPA Ports, John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport.
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.
Freight moves differently in Hamilton.
Hamilton moves freight in ways the rest of the region does not. The Port of Hamilton is the busiest Canadian port on the Great Lakes, feeding the city's steel and agri-food industries by water. John C. Munro Hamilton International has grown into Canada's largest dedicated overnight express cargo airport, home to Cargojet and gateway operations for the major couriers. And the QEW and 403 put the Niagara border crossings within easy reach.
Setara serves Hamilton shippers from our GTA desk: full truckloads on the QEW and 403 corridors, containerized imports and exports routed through the national rail ramps and coastal gateways, air freight through YHM and Pearson, and US cross-border lanes through Niagara with our vetted carrier network. Customs is arranged through a licensed customs broker partner.

Straight answers.
Do you serve Hamilton from the GTA?
Yes. Setara Logistics is based in Vaughan and works with shippers across southern Ontario. Full truckloads on the QEW and 403 run on Setara Transport, our group’s carrier; extra capacity and cross-border loads move with vetted partner carriers, as full trailers. One desk coordinates the whole file.
Can you move cargo through the Port of Hamilton?
Vessel and terminal handling at the port is run by the port's own operators. Setara arranges the freight around it: trucking to and from the port terminals and forwarding for containerized cargo through the national gateways.
Can you run US cross-border freight from Hamilton?
Yes. The Niagara crossings are close by, and we book full truckloads into the US through a vetted carrier network, with customs paperwork arranged through a licensed customs broker partner.
What does freight forwarding in Hamilton 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.
