What we move

From a single box to a full deck.

Every mode, from a single container off the rail ramp to a full oversize deck. Container drayage from the GTA's CN and CPKC rail ramps, delivered across Ontario, is a core strength.

Shipper questions

What shippers ask before they tender.

What does Setara haul?
Container drayage, dry van, FTL, and LTL on our own trucks on core lanes, plus intermodal truck legs. Flatbed, oversize, and reefer are covered through our vetted carrier network. One point of contact and one invoice across every mode.
Where do you run?
Broad and national. Origins and destinations across Canada and the United States, including cross-border lanes both directions. We are based in Brampton, Ontario, and container drayage from the GTA's CN and CPKC rail ramps, delivered across Ontario, is a core strength.
Do you run your own trucks or broker the freight?
Both, and we are clear about which is which. We run our own trucks on core dry van, drayage, and cross-border lanes, and we use a vetted carrier network for the broad geographic reach and specialized equipment. We run our own trucks on the core lanes, and a vetted carrier network scales the capacity to whatever you ship.
How do we set you up as a carrier or request capacity?
Tell us the lanes, equipment, and volume through the form on this page. A coordinator sends the carrier packet, a certificate of insurance in your company's name, our W-9, and the carrier agreement, so you can add us to your TMS or approved-carrier list, usually in a day.
What certifications do you hold?
FAST for quick Canada-US crossings, C-TPAT, and PIP for secure cross-border freight. Operating authority numbers and a certificate of insurance in your company's name come with the carrier packet.
How is customs handled?
Customs is handled through a licensed broker partner. We move the freight and coordinate the crossing; the broker clears it.
