GOOD TO KNOW
REGULAR AND RUSH SERVICE
Service tiers to schedule your deliveries
Regular service: TL loads are scheduled for pick up and delivery on specific dates – sometimes same day, sometimes next day or up to four days later, depending on travel time. For LTL loads in our delivery area, you can expect next-day delivery between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Rush service: When you need your cargo transported quickly, we will do our very best to get it to its destination as fast as possible. Extra charges will apply.
LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT AND SOLUTIONS
Time is money, and we don’t like to waste either one.
As part of your in-house team, you’ll have custom logistic management services backing the scheduling and transport of your cargo. So it gets there efficiently and on time.
GPS TRACKING
Want to know where your cargo is?
Each vehicle in our fleet is outfitted with Fleet Complete’s global positioning system. In addition, our drivers carry BigRoad’s hand-held, GPS-enabled electronic logbooks. So we can track your cargo’s movements and whereabouts in real-time to within two meters – to give you a good idea where your goods are at at all times.
WAIT TIME
Time is money, and we don’t like to waste either one
Delays happen. Most carriers allow for a certain amount of wait time for loading or unloading. PHTS includes the following wait times in your order: the first 30 minutes to load/unload an LTL load and the first two hours to load/unload a TL load. Additional wait time is billed at $94 per hour, with a half-hour ($47) minimum.
CARGO INSURANCE
You’re investing in your company every time you ship cargo
Cargo insurance provides protection against all risks of physical loss or damage to freight from any external cause during shipping. Our shipping rates include basic cargo insurance for up to $2 per pound. For shipments of higher value, we carry $250,00 cargo insurance. Higher cargo and insurance values must be agreed to and documented in writing with our dispatch prior to time of shipment.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORT
Qualified to handle cargo with special requirements
PHTS is a qualified carrier of HazMat Classes 1–9. We carefully adhere to Transport Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission recognizes PHTS Logistics as a HazMat Class 7 (Radioactive Materials) carrier. Be assured your cargo will be in trained hands – for everyone’s safety.
MAINTENANCE
Staying safe on the road
The safety of your cargo, our drivers and all those sharing the roadway is very important to us. All PHTS vehicles are maintained in-house by our licensed truck mechanics and maintenance staff, and they meet or exceed all safety standards as laid out by Transport Canada and provincial regulations.
In addition, we have an outstanding group of safe drivers that keep our MTO-regulated Commercial Vehicle Operating Registration (CVOR), which is based on traffic violations, roadside inspections and at-fault accidents, in good order.
