From the Prairies and the east, Calgary and Toronto both send freight to Vancouver on a mix of equipment; the Toronto run spans most of the country. From Mexico, Monterrey to Vancouver posts mostly for dry van, a trip that runs the length of the U.S. Reefer freight also posts out of western Canada, the region British Columbia belongs to.
Who can haul it
Calgary or Toronto to Vancouver is domestic Canada freight, so the posting goes to Canadian carriers alone. The Monterrey run passes through the U.S., so its carrier needs a U.S. DOT number, plus an MX number and OP-1 authority if it is Mexican. The app has no list of northern crossings, so the route north is worked out with the carrier.
Posting British Columbia freight on Cargado
Post the real address in the Vancouver area. For Monterrey freight, post one load from the Mexican plant to the British Columbia delivery and pick who handles the U.S.-Mexico crossing; a bond for Canada is a requirement you can set, and a team requirement on transit helps on a trip this long. For a Toronto to Vancouver load, price it in Canadian dollars if you like. Carriers based nearby can appear on the suggested list with an "Available truck" reason.
