Shipment Tracking & Visibility
Whether your freight is moving directly across the border or connecting with international shipments arriving from overseas, our team develops transportation solutions tailored to your cargo, schedule, and budget.
Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping From the USA to Canada
Full Truckload shipping is the preferred option for businesses transporting large shipments, high-value cargo, or freight that requires exclusive trailer space. FTL provides faster transit times, reduced cargo handling, and direct transportation from origin to destination.
Ridgewood coordinates FTL shipments throughout the United States and Canada, ensuring efficient scheduling, border processing, and dependable delivery for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and industrial businesses.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipping
Businesses with smaller shipments can benefit from our Less-than-Truckload services, allowing multiple shipments to share trailer space while reducing transportation costs.
Our LTL solutions provide dependable service for commercial freight that doesn't require a full trailer while maintaining reliable transit schedules and shipment visibility.
Cross-Border Customs Clearance
One of the most important aspects of shipping from the United States to Canada is ensuring all customs documentation is completed accurately before the shipment reaches the border.
Incomplete paperwork, incorrect commodity classifications, or missing permits can result in customs delays, inspections, storage fees, and unnecessary costs.
Ridgewood works closely with trusted customs brokerage partners to help coordinate the customs clearance process, ensuring your shipment complies with Canadian import regulations.
Common documentation may include:
-
Commercial Invoice
-
Bill of Lading
-
Canada Customs Invoice (CCI), when applicable
-
Packing List
-
CUSMA Certificate of Origin
-
Import Permits (for regulated goods)
-
Product Certifications
-
Other required customs documentation
By preparing documentation in advance, we help businesses keep freight moving efficiently across the Canada–U.S. border.
