- ULS Freight
Goods transport, also known as freight transportation, is the physical movement of commercial products and merchandise from manufacturers to businesses and end users. This includes moving cargo by truck, train, ship, and air—making it one of the most critical parts of modern logistics and supply chain management.
At ULS Freight, we provide professional goods transport in Mississauga across Canada, the USA, and Mexico. From local truck delivery to cross-border freight and global shipping, we manage every stage of the transportation process to ensure your cargo moves safely, on time, and at the lowest possible cost.
What Is Goods Transport?
Goods transport refers to the movement of cargo, freight, and commercial products using different transportation modes including:
• Road (trucks & vans)
• Rail (freight trains)
• Marine (ships & ocean vessels)
• Air (cargo aircraft)
It is a core function of freight forwarding and logistics, ensuring products flow efficiently from suppliers to warehouses, retailers, and customers.
Major Modes of Goods Transport
Road Transport (Trucking)
The most widely used form of freight transport in Canada. Road transport allows door-to-door delivery across Mississauga, Ontario, and cross-border routes into the USA and Mexico.
ULS Freight offers:
• Full Truckload (FTL)
• Less Than Truckload (LTL)
• Refrigerated (Reefer)
• Flatbed, Dry Van & Heavy Haul
• Cross-border trucking
Rail Transport
Rail freight is ideal for heavy, bulk, and long-distance shipments. It offers lower costs and high load capacity for commodities like steel, grain, lumber, and chemicals.
ULS Freight integrates rail with trucking using intermodal transport for maximum efficiency.
Ocean & Marine Transport
Used for international trade and large-volume cargo, ocean freight supports:
• Containerized shipping
• Bulk cargo
• Project cargo
• Global import/export
We manage FOB, CIF, customs clearance, port handling, and final delivery from port to door.

ULS Freight acts as your logistics partner, managing the entire journey from pickup to final destination.
What Is Logistics in Transportation?

• Carrier management
• Warehousing

• Tracking & visibility
• Cost control
We use advanced logistics management systems to keep your shipments on schedule and within budget.
LTL vs FTL – What’s the Difference?

Frequently Asked Questions
Goods transport is the physical movement of cargo by truck, rail, ship, or air. It connects manufacturers to buyers and supports supply chains through freight forwarding, routing, warehousing, and final delivery.
The best mode depends on distance, speed, and cargo type. Trucks suit regional delivery, rail works for bulk loads, ocean is ideal for global trade, and air is best for urgent or high-value shipments.
Freight forwarders organize carriers, documents, customs, and routing. They manage shipping from pickup to delivery, ensuring cargo moves safely, legally, and cost-effectively across borders and transport modes.
These goods use specialized transport like refrigerated trucks, temperature-controlled containers, and hazardous-certified carriers. Compliance, packaging, and monitoring ensure safety, quality, and regulatory approval.
Intermodal transport moves sealed containers across trucks, trains, and ships without unloading. It reduces damage, cuts costs, improves delivery speed, and provides better tracking for long-distance freight.
