Container drayage at CPKC Vaughan.
We pull import and export containers off the CPKC Vaughan Intermodal Terminal on Highway 50, in York Region, and deliver across the GTA, Ontario and into Quebec.

What has to be true before we can pull.
A container is pullable only when four things line up. When a move slips, it is almost always one of these rather than a shortage of trucks.
- The container is grounded and showing available at Vaughan
- Customs has released the freight
- The line has released it commercially
- A usable chassis is under it, or can be
- Which of the four is missing
- Who has to lift it, you, the line or customs
- Whether it changes the delivery day
Customs release is arranged through a licensed customs broker partner. We do not file it and we do not pretend to.
Going the other way, off Vaughan.
An export runs the chain backwards, and the deadline is the part people underestimate. The sailing date is not your deadline. The terminal cutoff is, and it falls earlier.
You have a booking
The line gives you a booking number and an earliest receiving date. Nothing can gate in before that date, however ready your freight is.
We bring the empty
We pick up an empty against your booking and bring it to you to load, or we run a street turn where an import empty goes straight onto your export instead of back to the terminal.
You load and seal
Seal number and final weight come back to us with the paperwork. A missing seal number or a weight that does not match will stop the box at the gate.
We gate in before cutoff
We deliver the loaded container ahead of the terminal cutoff, which is the real deadline. Miss it and the box rolls to the next sailing.
A street turn saves two trips and takes an empty off your per diem early, but it only works when the line approves it and the timing lines up. Ask us before you book a separate empty pickup, because it is worth checking every time.
