Experience. We’ve been in business since 1985 and can be trusted to handle all your cross-border moves from A to B.
Knowledgeable and Dedicated Staff. Our people are well informed and experienced in cross-border shipping. They will work closely with you to provide effective transportation and logistics solutions that will help you gain that competitive edge you need to be successful.
Quality Service. As your transportation partner, you can count on us to provide reliable, consistent service and to continually search for new ways to serve you better. Your total satisfaction is the driving force behind everything we do.
Cross-Border expertise. Moving freight to and from the United States is our specialty. We are ACE eManifest compliant. We are also certified to participate in the FAST, C-TPAT, and CSA programs which enable us to get your shipments across the border with greater security, speed, and certainty.
Qualified Drivers. At Forbes-Hewlett, safety is a very important part of our business. We hire only the most highly qualified and dedicated, professional drivers. They participate in regular and ongoing road safety training and random drug testing programs, resulting in an excellent safety record and low claims ratio.
Cost-Effective Pricing. Our LTL and truckload rates are very competitive. We use an FAK (Freight All Kinds) pricing system based on skid space used in a trailer. This makes rating simple and saves you time and money. You tell us the number of skids, total weight, pick-up and delivery location and any other requirements, and we will provide you with a quick, accurate rate. Click here to get a quote.
Modern Trucking Equipment. Forbes-Hewlett takes great pride in maintaining one of the most modern and efficient trucking fleets in the industry to get your freight to its destination safe and sound. Our trailers are strategically replaced by newer ones every few years to maximize safety and cost-benefit. This is a major reason attributing to the low claims ratio that Forbes-Hewlett enjoys.
Satellite Tracking. All our trucks feature the latest satellite tracking technology with an on board computer terminal linking directly to our dispatch center. At any point in transit, we can communicate with our driver and give you an exact location and ETA of your shipment.
Secure Facility. Our head office and terminal is located in Brampton, Ontario close to all major points and highways in southern Ontario. It includes a 23,000 square foot, 39-door cross-dock warehouse which is secure and well equipped with the latest technology to ensure your products are safe and move quickly. We invite you to contact us to arrange a personal tour of our business location.
Convenience. You can request a rate quote and trace shipments by using this web site or by contacting one of our customer service representatives. We will be pleased to provide this information to you quickly, reducing your waiting time.
