Line-down at our Kentucky plant, called at 2:40 in the morning. Axfer had a team unit rolling from Mississauga by 4. The line never fully stopped.
What we move
Six ways to get it there
From a single skid to a dedicated team-driver run across three borders — one dispatcher, one point of contact, one number to call.
Expedited Ground
Sprinter vans to straight trucks, dispatched within the hour. Direct dock-to-dock — your freight never sits in a terminal.
Dispatch < 60 min · Team drivers
Full Truckload
Dry van, reefer and flatbed capacity on established lanes. Dedicated contract carriage for shippers with steady volume.
53' dry · Reefer · Flatbed
Less-Than-Truckload
Pay for the space you use. Consolidated schedules on core lanes with terminal-free transfers wherever possible.
1–10 skids · Daily lanes
Cross-Border
Canada–USA–Mexico without cargo transfers at the line. Customs paperwork coordinated before the truck rolls.
CSA · FAST · C-TPAT ready
Air Freight & Charter
When the road isn’t fast enough: next-flight-out, hand-carry and full charter, door to door with ground legs handled.
NFO · Hand-carry · Charter
Warehousing & Cross-Dock
Short-term staging, re-work and cross-dock at our facility — freight in the door and back on a truck the same shift.
24/7 access · Bonded-ready
Why Axfer
Built like a dispatch desk, not a brokerage
Most “expedited” freight is a phone chain: broker calls broker calls a truck nobody has met. Axfer runs its own equipment and its own drivers, so the person who quotes your load is the person who dispatches it.
That’s the whole model — assets on the road, a dispatcher who knows your dock by name, and a tracking link that tells the truth. Read how we got here.
- No cargo transfers at the borderThe trailer that loads at your dock is the trailer that delivers — through Canada, the US and Mexico.
- Live GPS + human check callsSatellite tracking on every unit, backed by scheduled check calls so surprises reach you before they become problems.
- Team drivers on long lanesTwo drivers, zero overnight stops. Toronto to Laredo without the truck ever going quiet.
- Our own maintenance baysAn in-house garage and 24/7 roadside network keep breakdowns from becoming missed appointments.

How it works
Quote to POD in four moves
Quote in 15 minutes
Send the lane, weight and timing. A dispatcher — not an algorithm, not a call queue — prices it and calls you back.
Dispatched & loaded
Equipment assigned on booking. Customs paperwork for cross-border loads is cleared before the pickup, not at the line.
Tracked mile by mile
A live link shows position and ETA the whole way. If anything drifts, your phone rings before you notice.
Delivered, POD in hand
Signed proof of delivery lands in your inbox at the dock — no chasing paperwork three days later.
Shippers on Axfer
The 3 a.m. test
The border is where our old carriers lost days. Axfer clears paperwork before pickup, and the same trailer shows up in Monterrey. It stopped being a thing we worry about.
What sold us wasn’t the rate — it was that the tracking link matches reality and a human answers the dispatch line every single time we call.
Put a truck on it
Dispatch replies within 15 minutes during business hours — and the phone works at any hour.
