## Approach Canada with insight

### Extended inland rail network

Most inland deliveries go by rail, travelling in-bond to clear customs only after they reach the rail terminal.

### Keep trucking through customs

Full-truckload is the most common mode for freight crossing the CA-US border. A broker who can manage time-sensitive customs processes is key to keeping shipments moving.

### Plan for winter

Cold snaps can reduce rail shipments, adding pressure to the overall system. In April, thawing usually lowers truck-load weight limits for about three weeks.
