Before the move
How we plan an Ontario load
Every Ontario move starts with the MTO permit and any municipal permits on the route. Our permitting team checks the size, weight and route against the MTO rules, then sets the escorts and travel windows the permit calls for.
We plan the border crossing with the customs paperwork, and we haul bonded and non bonded shipments across the Canadian border.
Route clearances, bridges and construction shape the plan, so we check the route before the permit goes in.

Questions
Ontario heavy haul questions
Do you haul heavy loads into Ontario?
Yes. We are based at 7660 W Third St in Dayton, OH 45417, and we haul oversize and overweight loads across the USA and Canada, with bonded and non bonded shipments across the border. Our permitting team pulls the MTO permit for the Ontario leg.
Do I need a municipal permit as well?
Often. MTO permits cover the King's highways only, so roads run by a city or region need that municipality's permit or its consent.
What do you need for the border crossing?
The weight, dimensions, commodity and customs details. The carrier sends eManifest data to CBSA at least 1 hour before arrival.
How heavy a load can you haul?
Our superload service handles loads up to 300,000 lbs, with permits, routing and escorts by our own team.
