For many Ontario businesses, freight volumes aren’t consistent throughout the year.

Construction projects ramp up. Manufacturing orders increase. Infrastructure work reaches critical stages. Seasonal demand creates sudden increases in materials that need to move – and transportation schedules become tighter.

When freight volumes increase, companies need more than additional trucks. They need a logistics strategy that can adapt quickly.

That’s where Maple Global Transport’s cross-docking and flatbed transportation services in Barrie can make a difference.

Peak freight periods can put pressure on warehouse space, loading docks and transportation schedules.

A shipment that normally moves through a company’s operation without an issue can become difficult when several loads arrive at once.

Our Barrie cross-dock facility provides businesses with another option for managing freight during periods of increased activity.

Instead of allowing incoming shipments to overwhelm an existing facility, freight can be incorporated into a transportation plan that uses our warehouse and trucking capabilities together.

This can be especially valuable for businesses handling construction materials, steel, lumber, pipe, machinery and other commercial freight.

Construction transportation is rarely as simple as delivering everything at once. Materials may be required at different stages of a project, while delivery dates can change as work progresses.

Having access to a cross-docking location can help businesses coordinate material movements around actual project requirements.

For example, freight arriving ahead of a project’s immediate needs can be incorporated into a planned delivery schedule rather than automatically sending everything directly to the job site.

That gives contractors and suppliers another way to manage project-based freight transportation in Ontario.

Maple Global Transport specializes in asset-based flatbed transportation, making our operation particularly suited to industries that move freight that doesn’t fit the traditional box-truck model.

Our transportation capabilities support freight such as:

• Steel beams and fabricated steel
• Steel sheets and coils
• Pipe and tubing
• Lumber and building materials
• Construction equipment
• Industrial machinery
• Manufacturing components
• Agricultural equipment

With our own transportation assets supporting our logistics operation, customers can work with one transportation provider for more of their freight requirements.

For businesses serving customers throughout Simcoe County, Muskoka, Central Ontario and Northern Ontario, Barrie can play an important role in their distribution strategy.

Rather than building a separate logistics operation, businesses can incorporate a Barrie warehouse and cross-dock facility into their existing transportation network.

This can be particularly useful when freight originates in areas such as the GTA, Hamilton or Southwestern Ontario but ultimately needs to reach customers farther north.

Growing freight volumes shouldn’t force businesses to completely redesign their logistics operation.

Maple Global Transport combines cross-docking in Barrie with asset-based flatbed transportation, giving commercial and industrial customers another way to manage changing freight requirements.

Whether you’re preparing for a major construction season, handling a manufacturing increase or expanding your delivery network, we’re ready to help keep your freight moving.
