Why same-day on the Thunder Bay to Toronto lane
Standard overnight couriers move Thunder Bay to Toronto next-day. We move it the same business day, in 14-15 hours road time, two business days, with one driver. 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.
Insured on every run
We are insured on every shipment we dispatch. Bonded and licensed Ontario carrier. Certificate of insurance available for AP vendor onboarding and high-value items.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is Thunder Bay to Toronto?
Two business days door to door on the standard expedited mode. Depart Thunder Bay in the afternoon, deliver in Toronto and the GTA the second business morning. The driver swaps overnight so the cargo keeps moving while the original driver rests.
Outbound from Port of Thunder Bay, how do you handle customs documents?
Customs originals and time-sensitive shipping documents picked up at the port, sealed, and delivered direct to GTA freight forwarders. Chain-of-custody from port gate forward. Coordinate the pickup window with port operations.
Mining samples and metallurgical analysis southbound?
Yes. Sealed samples from Goldcorp Musselwhite, Northwest contractor yards, and pulp and forestry quality runs to GTA assayers and metallurgical labs. Chain-of-custody from mine gate or mill receiving forward.
TBRHSC specimens to Toronto reference labs?
Bonded chain-of-custody, temperature-aware packaging, two-day expedited as the default. Faster relayed-driver options available for shutdown-critical specimens; tell dispatch the urgency.
