Confirmed before you roll
Every load goes out on a written rate confirmation with the pickup, delivery, accessorials and detention terms on it. No rate changes after the fact.

Coverage
One desk, the whole map
Every city here is somewhere we book freight — domestic Canada, domestic US, and both directions across the border. Tell dispatch where you'll be empty and we work from there, not from a home terminal.

For carriers
Why owner-operators keep our number
Small fleets don't leave a broker over one bad load — they leave over silence. We built the desk around the three things drivers actually ask for: answer the phone, confirm the rate in writing, and pay when you said you would.
No forced dispatch
You take the loads that work for your truck and your hours. Turn one down and the next one still comes — we don't punish a no.
One dispatcher, not a queue
You get a named contact who knows your equipment, your home base and where you like to reload — reachable after hours when a shipper runs late.
Paid on clean paperwork
Send the signed bill of lading and the invoice and the clock starts. Quick-pay is available, and we'll tell you the terms up front — not after you've hauled it.
Carrier setup
Loaded in four steps
Most carriers are set up the same day the packet comes back. Nothing here is a portal you have to learn — it's a packet, a certificate, and a phone call.
Send your packet
Email your operating authority, W-9 or GST number, and void cheque or direct-deposit form. We'll send our carrier agreement back to sign.
Certificate of insurance
Have your broker list DTS Freight Systems Ltd as certificate holder. Cargo and auto liability both have to be current.
Tell us your lanes
Where you're based, what you pull, and where you want to end the week. That's what the dispatcher works from when a load posts.
Book and haul
Rate confirmation by email, tracking updates by phone or app, and paperwork straight back to dispatch when you're empty.
Equipment
What we move
Full truckload is the core of the desk — dry van and temperature-controlled, domestic in either country and both ways across the border. Flatbed and specialized move on the same lanes when the freight calls for it.

For shippers
Freight that has to be there
We cover any lane in Canada and the United States, with a vetted carrier base built up over years of running them. You get one point of contact for the quote, the pickup and the tracking — and every truck we put under your freight has been through the same insurance and authority check.

Carrier questions
Asked before every first load
If it isn't here, call the desk — someone will actually answer, and you'll get a straight answer rather than a callback.
How long does setup take?
Most carriers are approved the same business day the packet comes back. We need your operating authority, a certificate of insurance naming DTS Freight Systems Ltd as certificate holder, your W-9 or GST registration, and banking details. Once the carrier agreement is signed it covers every load after it — you never fill the packet out twice.
When do I get paid?
The clock starts when we have the signed bill of lading and your invoice. Payment terms are stated on the carrier agreement before you sign it, and quick-pay is available. Ask the dispatcher for the terms on your first load — we'd rather tell you up front than have you find out after you've hauled it.
Do you force dispatch?
No. You take the loads that suit your truck, your hours and where you want to end the week. Turning one down doesn't affect what you get offered next.
Can the rate change after I've booked?
No. Every load goes out on a written rate confirmation listing the pickup, the delivery, accessorials and detention terms. What's on that document is what you're paid. If the shipper changes the work, we reissue the confirmation before you do it.
What happens if a shipper holds me up?
Call dispatch as soon as you know. Detention terms are on your rate confirmation, and we chase it with the customer rather than leaving you to argue at the dock. The same applies to a late or missing appointment — tell us early and we'll rework it.
Do you book cross-border freight?
Both directions, regularly. PARS and PAPS numbers go to the driver ahead of the crossing with the customs broker copied, so the paperwork is waiting rather than being sorted out at the booth. You need active authority for whichever country you're running into.
What equipment do you cover?
Dry van and temperature-controlled are the bulk of the desk, plus flatbed and step deck, container drayage, and expedited or team runs. If you pull something specialized, tell the dispatcher — it's worth knowing when the right freight comes up.
