Thunder Bay to Toronto
Direct-drive expedited two-day courier from Thunder Bay to Toronto. Highway 17 southbound through Sault Ste. Marie and the Lake Superior north shore. Port of Thunder Bay outbound originals, TBRHSC specimens to Toronto reference labs, mining samples to GTA assayers, and sealed legal originals to Bay Street.
Why direct-drive on the Thunder Bay to Toronto lane
Standard couriers move Thunder Bay to Toronto through a depot network, handing it off at every leg. We drive it direct, 14-15 hours road time, two business days, one driver end to end. Here is what that buys you.
Twenty-four hours back
Next-day standard is 24 hours. Ours is 14-15 hours road time, two business days. The difference is filing the contract today instead of tomorrow morning.
One driver, end to end
Your shipment rides with the same driver from Thunder Bay to Toronto. No depots, no sorting, no tracking page that just says “In Transit” for eighteen hours.
Photo proof on every run
We dispatch one driver per shipment, door to door. Documentation available for AP vendor onboarding and high-value items.
