RR-ROAD COVERAGE
Where we run
Based in Fresno. Main lane Los Angeles ⇄ Toronto. And anywhere else in the lower 48, or across the border, that your freight needs to go.
The main lane
About 2,500 miles of open-deck freight between Southern California and Southern Ontario, both directions. The schematic below is a lane, not a route: the roads and the crossing for each load depend on its size and its permits.
Three zones
The same truck, the same trailers and the same people, whichever zone your load starts and ends in.
Z1
Home ground. Fresno sits on Highway 99 in the middle of the Central Valley, between the farm country, the Bay Area and Southern California.
Z2
Anywhere a road goes. Long hauls east, regional runs into the neighboring states, and one-off moves to wherever the equipment is needed next.
Z3
Our main lane ends in Toronto, and the border is part of the plan from the first call. Freight goes north into Canada and south out of it.
What decides the route
Distance sets the floor. Four other things decide how a heavy load actually travels — and every one of them is settled before we quote.
An oversize load can only use the roads its permits name, at the times they allow — sometimes daylight only, sometimes no weekends, sometimes with escort vehicles.
Not every border crossing suits every load. Oversize freight crosses where the permits on both sides join up, so the crossing is chosen per load.
The Sierra Nevada and the Rockies close passes, add chain controls and change in winter. The route is planned around the season, not just the map.
Federal hours-of-service rules limit how long a driver may drive and require rest. Honest delivery plans start from those limits.
Crossing into Canada
Cabotage rules let a US carrier bring freight into Canada and take freight out of it. A load from one Canadian city to another needs a Canadian carrier.
No. It is our main lane, but we haul anywhere in the lower 48 states, and into and out of Canada. Tell us the pickup and delivery and we will tell you how we would run it.
Yes. Loads can start anywhere we run — a load from Texas to Ontario, or from Ontario back to California, is quoted the same way as one that starts in Fresno.
No. As a US carrier, cabotage rules let us haul into Canada and out of Canada, but not between two points inside it. That move needs a Canadian carrier.
Start a load
Send the pickup, the delivery and the size and weight of the load. We come back with a price and a plan — trailer, route, and permits if it needs them.
