Transport Québec 2020: Thaw road restrictions, surcharges will apply depending on load weight. Effective dates by zone available here:

Thaw Period - Transports Québec ​The Ministère reminds users of heavy vehicles and shippers that the authorized load limits are reduced during the thaw period on all public roads. This is done every year to account for the road network’s lower bearing capacity during this period.

Contruck Trucking and Transport Canada has had a busy summer as volumes soar through the Port of Montreal.
Meantime, we are also in the midst of finishing up all the maintenance and repairs of our fleet of trucks, vans and chassis to be ready for the upcoming fall and winter.

Besides the regular container trucking, we also offer solutions for over-dimensional loads. We can pick up your cargo at origin or at the different terminals in Montreal and bring them over to our facility to transload them into different equipment types and haul them over to any destination point in North America either with our own equipment or a combination of our equipment and our partners equipment to make sure your load gets to final destination uneventful and without delays.

Contact us with your over-dimensional needs, we have you covered!

Contruck Trucking and Transport Montréal has been very busy to keep up with the increasing demand and performing under the extreme weather conditions. Due to the snow storms and icy roads, the normal operations were basically not possible - mechanical breakdowns, shortage of equipment and drivers, inaccessibility of some loading docks due to ice and snow.
Increase in demand has driven the prices up. Most of the trucking companies, including Contruck Trucking and Transport are operating at their capacity and now it’s becoming harder and harder to accommodate the orders on a short notice. So we ask our customers to please be proactive and book your freight in advance to avoid any delays.

East Coast Commodities Stuffing, Transloading and Warehousing in Montreal wanted to thank all its customers for their time during the CropSphere Conference in Saskatoon last January. It was great to exchange the latest news, discuss ongoing projects and future opportunities, map out few interesting projects and tackle some things that have been overlooked in a day to day routine. As per projections, we expect the increase of volume starting 2019. And we have noticed a spike of activity in January that came along with the winter in Montreal.

And, indeed, “Winter in Montreal” – this is basically what marks the month of January and will do so for February. Mother nature made everyone to follow its schedule and adjust all the plans. At East Coast Commodities Stuffing, Transloading and Warehousing in Montreal, we united our efforts to be able to still deliver to our customers in spite of the harsh weather conditions. The yard hours were extended, including to weekends and our crew is always on top to keep the yard ready for both drivers and workers to perform their job. Being in the middle of a complex logistics chain, East Coast Commodities Stuffing, Transloading and Warehousing Montreal has to remain flexible to regroup and perform in the ever changing environment. The end of January was especially tough, when rail operations were affected by the weather conditions – snow storms, low temperatures, icy road conditions – all that created an immense backlog. Multiple units couldn’t not be grounded off trains for days, so everyone operated under complete uncertainty. But we are certain that slowly but surely, the situation will straighten up and we would like to thank all our customers and all the parties involved for their cooperation which is crucial to get the job done.
