Toronto & GTA container drayage

Container drayage across Toronto and the GTA.

Setara drays containers across the Greater Toronto Area, delivering to warehouses in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and Hamilton. We are Brampton-based and asset-based, so the moves we carry most run on equipment we own, on your chassis or ours.

Drayage across the Greater Toronto Area

Where do you deliver containers across the GTA?

We are Brampton-based, so the GTA is home turf. We pull inbound containers from the region's CN and CPKC rail ramps and Ontario ports and deliver them to warehouses and distribution centres right across the Greater Toronto Area.

Toronto & Mississauga
Containers drayed into Toronto and the Mississauga warehouse belt, the densest DC corridor in the GTA
Brampton, Vaughan & Markham
Final delivery to the north-GTA distribution clusters, with Brampton as our own base of operations
Hamilton & the west end
Drayage out to Hamilton and the western edge of the region, on our trucks plus a vetted carrier network

We are Brampton, Ontario based and we serve the GTA's rail ramps. We are not located at any 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 equipment, on your chassis or ours

Do you run your own trucks and chassis in the GTA?

Yes. Setara owns its tractors, trailers, and chassis, so the core GTA drayage lanes run on equipment we control, and we can pull on your chassis or ours.

Our own trucks and chassis run the core Toronto and GTA container drayage lanes, so the moves we carry most often stay on equipment we control, under one point of contact and one invoice.

Because we are asset-based, we can handle your container on your own chassis or supply ours. Either way you get a clean dray with one team accountable from the ramp to your dock.

When volume spikes, or a move needs reach beyond our core GTA lanes, we tender it to a vetted carrier network. You get the capacity without the cost of a national fleet, and you still know exactly who to call.

How we cover the GTA

  • Own tractors, trailers, and chassis
  • On your chassis or ours
  • Vetted carrier network for reach and surge
  • One point of contact, one invoice
Beyond the GTA: the Ontario-Quebec corridor

Can a GTA container keep moving past Ontario?

Plenty of GTA container freight does not stop inside the region. We move containers out across Ontario and run an honest Ontario-Quebec road corridor for freight bound for Montreal and the east.

For cross-border moves between Canada and the United States, 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.

Setara is the continuation of Tridem Logistics, operating since 2006. That is close to two decades of moving freight in and around the GTA, now carried forward under the Setara brand.
