Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to load a container?
A standard 40ft container typically takes 3–6 hours depending on the type of cargo. We schedule a slot and confirm a finish time in advance.
Can you load vehicles and general cargo together?
Yes. We commonly load vehicles plus boxed goods in the same container, with proper securing to prevent movement.
Do you provide bracing and dunnage?
Yes — wood, straps, airbags and corner protectors are included as needed to secure your cargo.
Will I receive photos of the loaded container?
Absolutely. We send photos of the loaded container before it's sealed, so you have a record of how everything was packed.
Can I attend the loading?
Yes — customers are welcome to be present at our Montreal warehouse during loading.
