CN Brampton intermodal drayage

Container drayage to and from CN Brampton.

Setara drays containers to and from the CN Brampton Intermodal Terminal, the rail ramp closest to our Brampton base, and delivers them to warehouses across the GTA and Ontario. We run our own trucks, trailers, and chassis, with cross-border coordinated through our broker partner.

Why CN Brampton is our home ramp

The intermodal terminal closest to our base.

The CN Brampton Intermodal Terminal sits on the CN network in Brampton, the same city Setara is based in. That proximity is the simple advantage: short positioning miles between our yard and the ramp, on container moves we run regularly.

Off the CN Brampton ramp
Inbound containers railed into CN Brampton on the CN network, drayed to GTA and Ontario warehouses
Back to the ramp
Outbound and empty containers returned to CN Brampton for the rail leg of the move
To GTA & Ontario DCs
Final delivery to warehouses and distribution centres across Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto, Vaughan, and Hamilton

We are Brampton-based and we dray to and from CN Brampton. We are not located inside or at the terminal, and we do not claim gate hours or turn times we cannot back up. We move your containers cleanly and tell you straight where they are.

Asset-based, on your chassis or ours

Our own trucks, trailers, and chassis.

Setara owns its tractors, trailers, and chassis, so CN Brampton container moves run on equipment we control. That means we can dray on your chassis or ours, with one point of contact and one invoice.

Because we own our chassis, you are not stuck waiting on a pool or paying for someone else's equipment. We can pull off CN Brampton on our own chassis, or run on yours when that suits the move.

Our own trucks carry the core Brampton drayage lanes, so the moves we run most often stay on equipment we control. When volume spikes or a move needs reach beyond our core lanes, we tender it to a vetted carrier network.

On intermodal, rail covers the long haul and our trucks handle the first and last legs into and out of CN Brampton. Lower cost and lower emissions than running it all by road.

How we cover it

  • Own trucks, trailers, and chassis
  • On your chassis or ours
  • Vetted carrier network for reach and surge
  • One point of contact, one invoice
Cross-border via our partner customs broker

CN Brampton containers that keep moving across the border.

Plenty of freight off CN Brampton does not stop at the Ontario line. We move cross-border containers between Canada and the United States, both directions, on FAST trusted-trader crossings.

Customs is coordinated through our licensed broker partner, so clearance and the drayage stay under one point of contact. We are not an in-house broker, and we do not claim bonded-carrier status.

US DOT and MC operating authority is in approval.

On cross-border

  • Canada-US container runs both directions
  • FAST trusted-trader crossings
  • Customs via licensed broker partner
  • One point of contact across the lane
Roots in GTA freight

Freight experience that goes back two decades.

Setara is a current operating carrier, but our freight roots go back to Tridem Logistics, founded in 2006. That is close to two decades of moving freight in and around the GTA, now carried forward under the Setara brand from our Brampton base.
