At First Freight Carriers, we deliver end-to-end logistics solutions built on precision, transparency, and trust. Whether you need ocean freight for global trade lanes or air freight for time-critical cargo, our team ensures your shipments move seamlessly from origin to destination. With deep expertise in drayage operations, full truckload (FTL), and less-than-truckload (LTL) services, we optimize every mile for cost and reliability. Our warehousing and transloading network provides fast cross-docking, inventory control, and last-mile coordination for efficient supply chain performance. Backed by professional customs filing and clearance support and compliant container shipping solutions, we keep freight flowing on schedule—without the delays or guesswork. From port to warehouse to customer, First Freight Carriers is your single point of contact for smarter shipping across North America and beyond.
Beyond standard freight, First Freight Carriers specializes in tailored transport solutions for complex supply chains. Our refrigerated (reefer) shipping protects temperature-sensitive goods from spoilage, while our flatbed shipping handles oversized and heavy cargo with precision and safety. For regulated or hazardous materials, our certified hazmat cargo team manages every document, route, and compliance standard to ensure secure delivery. We also coordinate customs exams and inspections to prevent unnecessary delays and costs at the border. With industry-leading visibility tools, a trusted carrier network, and 24/7 customer support, First Freight Carriers delivers the reliability and efficiency your business depends on — every shipment, every time.
