How long does rail LTL from Vancouver to Toronto take?

Transit time is 7–11 business days for both terminal to terminal and dock to dock service. Rail is a little slower than trucking, which is what keeps the rate low.

What is a standard pallet?

A standard pallet is 48 × 40 × 50 in, up to 500 lb. Larger or heavier pallets are quoted in your GoorooShip account.

What's the difference between terminal to terminal and dock to dock?

With terminal to terminal (from $100 per standard pallet), you drop off at our terminal in Surrey, BC and pick up at our terminal in Mississauga, ON. With dock to dock (from $200 per standard pallet), our straight trucks pick up from a business loading dock in the Lower Mainland and deliver to a business loading dock in the GTA.

Liftgate service, residential delivery and delivery appointments cost extra. Our rates include the fuel surcharge; taxes are extra.
