Compliance-led operation
National Safety Code compliance, with securement and escorts matched to each load
Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
Securement matched to the load
Chains, straps, tarps, dunnage, and bracing are specified for the piece rather than applied by habit.
Legal in every jurisdiction
Weight and dimensional limits are mapped across each province and state the route crosses.
Escorts where required
Pilot cars and police escorts are booked to the conditions the permit sets, not after the fact.
How safety is handled
Oversized and overweight freight is regulated load by load. A permit sets the hours a load may travel, the roads it may use, and whether it needs escorts — and those conditions change at every provincial and state line the route crosses.
Planning starts before the load is booked. The route is checked for clearances and restrictions, legal weight and dimensional limits are mapped per jurisdiction, and permits and escorts are arranged around what the survey finds. Where a lane carries seasonal or structural risk, it is planned around from the start.
On the equipment side, securement is specified for the piece: chains and straps rated to the load, tarping where the cargo needs it, dunnage and bracing to stop movement in transit. Hazmat freight moves under the protocols and endorsements it requires, and carriers are screened for safety record and inspection history before they are assigned.

There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how incredible this company is. I have been using them for well over a year, almost every day.
As a carrier, I’ve been doing business with Rite Way for over 7 years. Definitely one of the best brokers.
Rite Way Freight is very professional and organized. We’ve been working with them for 5 years.
Great services, unbeatable prices, hassle-free experience. They get it right every time.
