including over the road load services, regional truck load services and refrigerated truck load
services that provide the complete transport solution for any need. With a diverse range of
equipment and state of the art logistics management, we deliver whatever your freight
requirements.

b- Equipment Type

With a significant inventory of equipment to meet the ever-changing needs of our valued clients,
Saikley Transport maintains a fleet of vehicles that includes trucks of all sizes to maintain cost
effectiveness for every situation.

Dry Van Trailer

Holding up to 26 pallets or 45,000 pounds, our dry van trailers provide easy to load, effective
transport for most non-temperature sensitive goods.

Refrigerated Trailer

Fully temperature controlled to maintain product integrity, our Environmentally conscious


refrigerated trailers keep temperature sensitive goods at the right temperature for the duration of
their journey.

Flat Bed Trailer

With lengths of up to 53 feet, our steel trailers offer versatile transport for a wide range of goods,
including oversized or other non-standard load shapes and sizes, to accommodate most situations.

Removable Gooseneck Trailer


For easier loading, the front of the trailer detaches, allowing the trailer to form its own ramp.
Suitable for many load types but perfect for large vehicles, saving time loading and unloading.

Step Deck Trailer

Ideal for hauling taller loads, the step deck ensures that height restrictions are not a problem by
providing a lowered load bed that reduces the overall height of the load.

Lowboy Trailer

Featuring the lowest bed available, and allowing legal loads up to 12 feet high, this is the trailer
solution for large loads, and is often used for heavy equipment, such as bulldozers.

Car Hauler

Providing dedicated, safe and secure transport for your vehicles, our purposely designed car haulers
are the ideal option for moving cars efficiently. Leveraging our extensive logistics management
systems, we are able to deliver vehicles where needed with careful organization of stops to ensure
load security.

c- How to measure Oversized Items

One of the key elements in getting the best value and most efficient transport solution is ensuring
that the right equipment is being used at all times. That means getting the right, accurate
measurements for your items is crucial to getting the right transport service. In particular, this
means accurate measurement of the maximum width and height of the item.

At Saikley Transport we are able to accommodate a wide variety of sizes and shapes of load, but that
accuracy of measurement remains crucial, it is also important to remember the size of the cargo will
affect its weight, and this can add extra cost too. Always check the maximum dimensions, the widest
point, the tallest point and so on for the best outcomes.

How to Package Freight

Crate

Use quality lumber for crates, diagonally braced, and with secure fasteners as required. As crates are
usually measured externally, make sure there is enough internal space for your items.
Pallet
Keep your goods within the pallet perimeter, use wrapping and straps to secure the load to the
pallet.

Box
Ensure the box is strong enough to support the weight inside. Pack items well to avoid movement,
this prevents damage and weight shifting during transit.

Blanket

When using thermal pallet covers, it is essential that the load is secured to the pallet to avoid
damage to the covers and exposure to the elements.

Drums & Barrels

A standard pallet made of hardwood is used for Packaging. Ensure that each item is banded tightly
to the pallet and supported with a solid bottom surface, usually plywood. For multiple drums, ad top
protection as well, and wrapping is required.

2. Less than a Truck Load (LTL)

What is Less Than Truckload/LTL Services in Ottawa

LTL services simply refer to the shipment of goods that do not take up the whole capacity of the
freight equipment. There are advantages to this, and Saikley Transport is able to provide the same
high-quality service and security that our large volume clients enjoy, at a price that fits within the
transport budgets of smaller companies that do not need full truckload shipments.

By leveraging our logistical expertise and capacity, businesses of all sizes in Ottawa can enjoy
exceptional shipping service in a cost-effective package.

What you should know about less than truck load freight

1- Loads should weigh more than 50 pounds


2- Loads should be larger than a parcel, meaning that it is too large for the post office to
transport
3- Shipments are usually either crated or palletized, which reducing both costs and risk of
damage
4- Because the part load is a fraction of the capacity of the vehicle, it costs a fraction of the
cost of full truckload shipment. Costs do vary depending on the volume and weight of
the load.
5- Shipped using our logistical network of terminals and warehousing
6- Picked up and delivered within our daily schedules
7- It can take longer in transit that a full truckload all heading to one destination
8- Today it is one of the most common forms of shipping

Why Choose LTL Shipping?

There are two main advantages to using Saikley Transport’s LTL shipping solution, reliability and cost
effectiveness. For many businesses and individuals, shipping larger items can be a challenge, with
traditional parcel carriers bringing rapidly rising costs for larger loads. By utilizing the logistical
expertise of Saikley Transport however, it is possible to leverage our global transport network
without excessive costs.

Our LTL service pools freight capacity, allowing several individual loads from different clients to be
placed on one truck, all receiving the personalized, high-quality shipping service we are famous for,
while sharing the cost of the truck between loads. This reduces costs and makes professional
logistics and transport available to those with smaller transport budgets, losing none of the reliability
and efficiency that is at the core of our service.

LTL shipping has become one of the more popular methods of shipping for these reasons, but it also
aids our environmental responsibility. By pooling transport onto a single truck, we reduce carbon
emissions for customers and provide a more sustainable transport solution.

Our experts are available to help you through the entire process, delivering a seamless and cost-
effective transport solution for each individual situation and helping you to appreciate the added
value and performance of our integrated shipping services.

Save Time with Less Than Truckload Shipping

Instead of wanting until you have a complete truck load for shipment, you can get your product out
much quicker, without adding significant additional costs, saving you time, and for many of our
clients, allowing them to provide an even better service to their own customers. With Saikley
Transport’s LTL service, your packages are on the road quickly, not costing you money waiting
around in warehouses.

1. Shipping Large Freight

Our highly experienced team understands how to handle and ship your large freight safely, securely
and effectively. Our varied transport fleet ensures we always have the right equipment to match
your needs, all backed up by exceptional logistics management to ensure that we offer a cost-
effective service that delivers on time.

Shipping Small Parcels

Whether complete loads or LTL, we ship small parcels with the same diligent care as all other
shipping duties. Whether palettized or otherwise packaged, we provide reliable, secure and efficient
transport solutions that deliver cost effective transport of all goods. Saikley Transport offer a
complete transport solution for every situation.

a- The four different types of freight packages

To meet the varied demands of our clients, we have four tailored packing approaches to suit any
load and transport requirement. With packaging choice, equipment choice and our effective
management system, we are able to provide a tailored solution for every client.

Crate

Crates are manufactured from quality wood and provide sturdy all around protection for goods.
Braced for extra strength, we use lined crates that feature cushioning to ensure goods remain safe,
while crates bring an added level of security for sensitive items.

Pallet

Our pallet service covers everything from a single pallet to container loads, offering exceptional
service, safe, secure transport and competitive pricing for every client. If required, we can securely
package your pallets, using swap and banding to ensure goods remain secure and damage free.

Box

Using industry approved pressure sensitive tapes and strong materials, our box solutions provide
resilient transport for any items. Whatever volume or weight requirements, we have a solution that
maximizes value to provide the ideal shipping solution for all clients.

Barrels and Drums

Whether transported in singles or multiples, our transport solutions provide secure and reliable
transport for all your drum and barrel needs. We use reinforced pallets to provide a sturdy
foundation, ensuring drums remain upright with contents intact at all times.
b- How to Measure your Freight

Getting the measurements right is critical to getting the best shipping solution for your needs, the
more accurate the measurements, the better. For any object, when looking at the length, width and
height, it is always the maximum length, maximum width and maximum height, and this is important
for oddly shaped objects. You can also calculate the total volume of your goods from these
measurements as follows:

• Measure the Length, width and height of the item in inches


• Multiply L*W*H
• Divide the total cubic inches by 1728 to get the cubic feet of your item

c- How to measure your Parcel?

A parcel can be measured manually by simply measuring the three main dimensions, length, width,
height. For odd shapes that are difficult to measure, always look for the maximum size. A good way
to do this is use string or tape, lay the string over the widest/longest/tallest point, mark the distance
and then lay the string out flat to measure it.

d- How to measure oversized items

Again, the key with oversized and oddly shaped items is to look for the largest dimensions, and
measure at that point. Use string, laid across the item, marked, and then laid flat to measure for
anything with odd shapes, allowing you to get accurate measurements more easily.

If you are shipping manufactured goods, sometimes you can find the exact dimensions are supplied
by the manufacturer themselves, which can save time.

For some particularly heavy items, they may be restricted to specific modes of transport for safety or
legal reasons:

• Truck: Offers the most adaptable and a cost-effective mode of transport available
• Rail: With size restrictions on all goods, it can be a problem for oversized loads
• Air: Space and weight restrictions make air transport problematic for the heavier and
larger loads
• Ocean: For large items requiring overseas shipping, this is the ideal solution.

2. Shipping Engines

The crucial thing when shipping engines to maintain secure mounting to the palette or other
platform used. We use high strength steel banding, additional fastening and strong, braced lid to
maintain security and stability at all times. Not only is this crucial for the engine itself, but to prevent
weight shifting during transit, which can cause other problems for the truck.
Shipping Vehicles

We ship any kind of vehicle using purpose designed vehicle haulers designed specifically for the job.
For larger vehicles including heavy equipment, purpose designed lowbed trailers ensure that any
height issues are eliminated. Shipping vehicles also requires careful planning, routes are carefully
calculated to ensure high security on any overnight stops to ensure the vehicles arrive at their
destination safely.

a- Using terminal to Terminal Services

Our highly effective, cost competitive terminal to terminal transport solution delivers exceptional
service for all types of vehicle transport, while maintaining load security at all times throughout its
transit.

b- Prep Your Shipment – Drain all engine liquids

To maintain integrity and safety during transit, we ask that clients inspect their vehicles before
shipping, noting any damage of any kind, and ensure that all liquids are fully drained from the engine
before transport begins.

c- Package Your Engines Correctly

Engines must be free of all liquids, but also securely strapped to its loading palette, while a braced,
strong lid maintains security throughout the shipping process.

d- Provide the Most Accurate Weight

The more accurate the weight, the more prices our shipping costs will be, as weight and volume are
the foundation for your shipping costs. Where possible, try and have the item accurately weighed
before requesting a quote.

e- Check your freight for damage on arrival

While we strive to ensure every item arrives in perfect condition, we would ask you to please inspect
your cargo when it arrives in order that we can be notified as quickly as possible should there be any
issues.
