Retail & apparel freight
Retail freight that keeps inventory moving — direct from the carrier.
Scheduled DC-to-DC transfers, new-store-build freight, and store replenishment for apparel and specialty retailers — hauled on our own equipment, customs handled. Ship direct, no middleman markup.
Scheduled DC-to-DC transfers, two-way and on time.
Most of your freight isn't going to a store — it's moving inventory between distribution centres. We run scheduled, high-volume FTL wherever your network's DCs sit — across Canada and into the U.S., the loaded backhaul as committed as the fronthaul.
- Recurring lanes, dedicated capacity — book the same weekly moves and hold trucks for your volume.
- Two-way loaded lanes mean we cut deadhead — and pass the efficiency back as competitive rates.
- One point of contact on our own dispatch — not a load posted to a board and re-brokered.
New-store-build freight — inventory, fixtures and construction materials.
Opening a store takes more than its first inventory drop. It takes shelving, racks, millwork, signage and build-out materials — landed on a construction timeline. Most carriers won't pitch this. We move the whole build.
- One carrier for the whole opening — fixtures and construction materials alongside opening inventory.
- Sequenced to the build schedule, so trades and merchandising aren't waiting on a truck.
- A chain opening ~10 stores a year is real, recurring project volume — planned, not scrambled.
Store replenishment and Q4 peak capacity.
Replenishment is steady but smaller — partial loads and LTL keeping racks full between transfers. When peak hits, the lanes you already run with us are the capacity you can count on.
- LTL and partial loads for store-level top-ups without paying for a full trailer.
- Peak-season (Q4) capacity held for shippers already running with us — not auctioned on a board.
- Seasonal drops kept on schedule, rack to dock to shelf, season after season.
Also in the mix
Everything retail freight throws at you.
Beyond the core lanes, the moves that keep a retail supply chain running — handled by the carrier that owns the equipment.
Cross-border merchandise
Customs-cleared moves of merchandise between Canada and the United States, on our own trucks.
Warehousing
Hold inventory, consolidate or cross-dock at our facility so freight flows when stores need it.
Dedicated FTL
Your freight, one trailer, direct from pickup to delivery — recurring or one-off.
LTL & partials
Share trailer space and pay for the room your replenishment shipment actually needs.
Team & expedited
Two-driver teams keep high-value freight moving nearly around the clock on the long lanes.
Quote, track & pay
Online quotes, live GPS tracking and invoice payment by ACH or card in CAD or USD.
Why direct
No middleman between you and your inventory.
When you ship retail freight with Transam, you talk to the team that owns the trucks and the outcome — not a broker passing your load down the line.
Direct to the carrier
Reach our own dispatch and driver managers — no brokers re-selling your lane. One point of contact, start to finish.
Asset-based — we own the trucks
We move your inventory on our own equipment, so the people you talk to are the people accountable for it.
Combined experience
Over 100 years of combined dispatch and driver-management experience behind every load we move.
Two-way loaded lanes
Recurring DC-to-DC volume keeps trucks loaded both directions — efficiency we pass back as competitive rates.
