The Canadian market is somewhat different.  Day & Ross is the only LTL carrier that has operations in all 10 provinces and has a national network.  However, Day & Ross only serves Western Canada via an over the road service. 

Manitoulin Transport also has an extensive LTL network but works with a partner carrier in Atlantic Canada.  The TransForce Group has the largest stable of LTL carriers, with multiple carriers serving specific geographic regions.  However, it does not have one national LTL network and works with a partner in Atlantic Canada.  Shippers seeking to pick up and/or deliver LTL freight within Canada must be fully aware of their vendor and customer locations and pull together the appropriate mix of LTL carriers to meet their requirements.

Canada is made up of a group of regions.  Each region is served by a unique set of LTL carriers.  

Small Parcel Carriers

Some small parcel carriers service specific areas within Canada (i.e. Midland serves Central and Atlantic Canada, Dicom serves Quebec and Ontario).  Some carriers focus on heavier weight parcels (i.e. Nationex), health care products (i.e. ATS), pre-8:00 AM deliveries (i.e. Cardinal) or same day service (I.e. Dynamex).  Purolator, Canada’s largest national small parcel carrier competes with FedEx, DHL and UPS in Canada for domestic Canada courier shippers.
