Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
Both countries, one file
Canada and the United States are handled by the same team, so a cross-border move is one shipment rather than two.
People on the ground
Local agents across North America coordinate pickups and deliveries in the regions they know.
Depth where it is needed
Owned equipment concentrates in Québec and Ontario; contracted carriers extend the reach beyond it.
About our coverage
Rite Way Freight moves freight across Canada and the United States. Coverage comes from three things working together: equipment we own and operate, carriers we have contracted and screened, and a network of local agents built out from 2019 onward.
The mix changes by region. Around the Montréal headquarters — Québec and Ontario — density is highest and same-day dispatch is realistic. Further out, contracted operators carry more of the work, particularly for mining, energy, and remote-site delivery in Western Canada. Atlantic Canada is largely port drayage and project cargo out of Halifax and Saint John.
Cross-border lanes run into the Midwest, Northeast, and Gulf. CTPAT, PIP, and FAST participation supports movement in both directions, and customs documentation is prepared ahead of the truck so clearance is ready when the load reaches the crossing. We do not run into Mexico.
Equipment available across the network
Trailer classes reachable through owned and contracted equipment in the regions we cover.
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.
