Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD

Montréal, Québec · In business since 1987

Specialized freight, not general

Oversized, overweight, and high-value loads on open-deck and specialized equipment.

Repeat lanes

Carriers that perform get offered work matched to their equipment and the regions they run.

One coordinator to deal with

The same person who booked the load answers about permits, escorts, and paperwork.

Running with Rite Way

Rite Way Freight is licensed as both a broker and a carrier. Alongside our own equipment we contract carriers and owner-operators to run specialized freight across Canada and the United States, and the network behind that has been built over decades.

Signing on means submitting documents before the first load: at least a year in operation, MC and US DOT numbers, provincial authority and CAAT registration where applicable, and current cargo and liability insurance certificates. Safety record and inspection history are reviewed, and equipment, fleet size, and the regions you run are recorded so work can be matched rather than blasted out.

What we ask for on the road is the same as what we promise shippers: the load secured to spec, permit conditions and travel windows observed, and dispatch kept informed of anything that changes. What you get back is one coordinator on the file who already knows the load rather than a broker board.

Equipment we run

The trailer classes the network works with, owned and contracted.

Flatbed

The standard open deck.

Steel, machinery, and building materials on an open deck, loaded by crane or forklift from any side. Suited to freight up to around 48,000 lbs that fits within legal height.

Step-Deck

A lower deck for taller freight.

The main deck sits lower than a flatbed, adding clearance for equipment and crated cargo that would run over-height on a standard deck — so taller loads move legally without permits.

Double-Drop & Lowboy

A low center well for over-height machinery.

The deck drops between the axles to carry tall machinery low to the road, keeping over-height freight under the bridges and wires along the route.

RGN

Removable gooseneck — equipment drives on.

The gooseneck detaches so excavators, cranes, and other tracked or wheeled equipment drive onto the deck under their own power. Configurable to around 150,000 lbs with added axles.

Multi-Axle

Axle lines added for the heaviest loads.

For freight beyond standard legal weight, added axle lines spread the load so it can be permitted and moved. The configuration is engineered to the piece and the route.

Extendable

Decks that stretch for long freight.

Extendable flatbeds and step-decks stretch to carry beams, pipe, and other long freight that overhangs a standard deck, with permits and escorts arranged to match the length.

Tank & Specialized

Purpose-built trailers for energy cargo.

Cryogenic tankers and purpose-built platforms carry LNG and other energy-sector cargo under the handling and safety protocols the freight requires.

What we ask for

Minimum one year in operation
MC and US DOT numbers
Provincial authority and CAAT registration
Canadian business number where applicable
Current cargo insurance certificate
General liability coverage
