What We Ship

If the machinery or equipment exceeds size and weight restrictions on Canadian roads, that need special permits. These vary by province.

Medicine transportation in Canada requires special considerations to ensure the medication arrives safely, effectively, and within its required temperature range. Here's what you need to know:

Temperature Control:

• Temperature Requirements: Many medications have specific temperature ranges they need to stay within during transport. This could be refrigerated, frozen, or even controlled room temperature.
• Packaging: The packaging needs to be appropriate for the temperature requirements. This might involve insulated containers, gel packs, or dry ice depending on the medication.
• Temperature Monitoring: In some cases, temperature loggers or data recorders might be needed to track and document the temperature throughout the transportation process.

Dry bulk transportation in Canada is the movement of loose, granular materials in bulk quantities, without any form of liquid or packaging required. It's a crucial part of various industries across the country. Here's a breakdown of key points:

Materials Transported:

• Wide Variety: Dry bulk transportation handles a vast range of materials, including:
  • Construction aggregates: sand, gravel, crushed rock
  • Industrial materials: cement, fly ash, fertilizer, plastic pellets
  • Agricultural products: grains, seeds, animal feed
  • Other materials: salt, potash, wood chips

Vehicles Used:

• Specialized Trailers: Dry bulk goods are typically transported in specialized trailers designed for efficient and safe handling. Some common types include:
  • Pneumatic trailers: use compressed air to unload the material
  • Bottom-unloading trailers: feature doors at the bottom for gravity unloading
  • Dump trucks: used for short-haul distances or unloading directly onto a site

Food product transportation requires special considerations to ensure food safety, quality, and freshness throughout the journey. Here's what you need to know:

Temperature Control:

• Maintaining Requirements: Different food products have specific temperature requirements to prevent spoilage or growth of harmful bacteria. This could range from frozen and refrigerated conditions for perishables to controlled room temperature for shelf-stable items.
• Temperature-Controlled Vehicles: Depending on the temperature needs, refrigerated trucks, insulated containers, or even heated trucks might be necessary to maintain the proper environment during transport.
• Temperature Monitoring: Monitoring temperature throughout the journey is crucial. Temperature loggers or data recorders can track and document temperature fluctuations to ensure food safety compliance.

Transporting dangerous goods (chemicals) in Canada falls under strict regulations set by Transport Canada's Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) program. Here's what you need to know for safe and compliant chemical transportation:

Training and Certification:

• Trained Personnel: Anyone involved in offering, handling, or transporting dangerous goods must undergo TDG training specific to their function. This training ensures they understand the regulations, classification of chemicals, and proper handling procedures. Employers are responsible for ensuring their employees have the necessary training and certification.

Classification and Documentation:

• UN Number and Proper Shipping Name: Chemicals are classified according to the United Nations (UN) system, assigned a unique UN identification number, and given a proper shipping name that clearly describes the hazard. Shipping documents must accurately reflect these details.
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS): An SDS must accompany dangerous goods shipments. This document provides detailed information on the chemical's properties, hazards, and safe handling procedures.
