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.
Both national railways. One home team.
Vaughan is one of the few cities where both national railways run major operations: CPKC's Vaughan Intermodal Terminal, its largest in Canada, and CN's MacMillan Yard in Concord, one of the country's biggest classification yards. Around them, the Vaughan Enterprise Zone has grown into one of the GTA's largest industrial districts, with hundreds of logistics, manufacturing and distribution operations working off Highways 400, 407 and 427.
It is also where Setara lives. We quote and manage complete shipments from here: import boxes off the CPKC ramp, ocean and air legs booked at origin, full truckloads across Canada and over the US border, with customs arranged through a licensed customs broker partner. When your freight moves through Vaughan, it moves through our backyard. When a lane is long enough for rail, we price it against a truck: see when rail beats a truck from the GTA.

My container discharges at the CPKC Vaughan terminal. Can you pick it up?
Yes. Setara Transport, our group’s carrier, runs the drayage off the CPKC Vaughan ramp, and we can manage the ocean leg and rail move before it so one partner carries the whole file.
Can you run cross-border freight out of Vaughan?
Yes. 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 Vaughan 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.
