How quickly can you arrange a pickup in Hamilton?

For most Hamilton shippers we can source and confirm a truck the same business day, and expedited units are often rolling within the hour. Same-day pickup, next-day into the US Midwest and Northeast.

What paperwork do I need to ship from Hamilton to the United States?

You'll need a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading, plus your customs broker's details so we can file PARS in advance. We route Hamilton freight through Fort Erie–Buffalo, Queenston–Lewiston and Windsor–Detroit and confirm the crossing is cleared before the driver arrives.

Do you handle FTL, LTL and flatbed freight in Hamilton?

Yes. Our Hamilton shippers move dry van, reefer, LTL, flatbed, step-deck and expedited freight through the same point of contact — we match the equipment to the load rather than to a fleet we happen to own.

How do I book a shipment out of Hamilton?

Send us the origin and destination, weight, dimensions, commodity and pickup window. We return capacity options and pricing, you approve the rate, and we dispatch a vetted carrier with tracking through to POD. Or call dispatch at 905-674-1270.

What is the difference between an asset-based carrier and a 3PL?

An asset-based carrier only moves freight using their own physical trucks. As a non-asset 3PL, EBL Transportation leverages a vast, trusted network of vetted partner carriers across North America, giving us the flexibility to find the exact equipment you need, exactly when you need it.

What geographic areas do you service?

We are based in Ontario and coordinate shipments locally, across Canada, and cross-border throughout North America.

Are the carriers in your network insured and vetted?

Absolutely. Every carrier we partner with undergoes a strict vetting process to verify their operating authority, safety ratings, and active cargo insurance coverage before they ever haul a load for our clients. Carriers hold the cargo insurance; we verify it.

Do you handle both full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL)?

Yes! We handle all freight types. Whether you have a small partial pallet (LTL), a dedicated full truckload (FTL), or oversized cargo, we match your shipment to the right carrier.

Can you handle flatbed, specialized, or expedited shipments?

Yes. Because we operate as a non-asset 3PL, we have access to specialized equipment—including flatbeds, drop-decks, and expedited teams for time-critical loads.

Can you manage regular, recurring shipping schedules?

Definitely. We work closely with regular shippers to set up recurring routes, consistent capacity, and reliable weekly scheduling.

How fast can I get a shipping quote?

Quotes are fast and straightforward. You can submit your lane details through our online quote form or call dispatch directly at 905-674-1270 for immediate assistance.

What information do I need to provide to get an accurate quote?

To give you the best rate, we typically need the pickup city/postal code, delivery city/postal code, freight type (FTL, LTL, Flatbed), weight, dimensions or pallet count, and any special requirements (like liftgate or appointments).

How do I track my shipment once it's booked?

As your single point of contact, we handle all carrier communication and provide real-time updates and monitoring so you never have to chase down multiple drivers.
