QRC Logistics - 1978 Ltd.

QRC Logistics - 1978 Ltd. Overnight courier, LTL and truckload service within the Greater Toronto Area, as far west as Windsor, as far north as Barrie and as far east as Kingston.

Our customers depend on us to deliver their shipments, to the time constraints promised, throughout the Greater Toronto and surrounding areas (Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering, Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and London). We take pride in our on time performance and are constantly seeking ways to improve our overall quality of service. From courteous and knowledgeable

customer service, to accurate billing, to ongoing investments in shipment visibility technologies… we are committed to being a transportation provider you can always count on. Our core service continues to be answering the time-sensitive delivery requirements of our customers. High value goods, fashion, cosmetics and electronics are just a few of the retail and consumer orientated goods we transport on a daily basis. Our fleet of 5 ton straight trucks are equipped with tailgate delivery systems to effectively load and unload your skidded freight when dock level doors are not available. We can navigate tighter city pickup and delivery conditions where traditional tractor trailers would not be able to serve your requirements. Where larger, multiple skid shipments are required and dock level access is available, we have tractor trailers available for your truckload and partial truckload shipments. Our warehousing and distribution centre allows us to provide cross docking and short and long-term storage as an added convenience to handle our customers’ everyday requirements and seasonal volume surges. In addition, we can provide third party brokerage service to minimize the amount of carriers you need to manage. We currently have customers that rely on us for LTL and truckload service on a coast to coast basis. We also provide reverse logistics for returns that are required to go back to Canadian and USA manufacturing plants. We arrange a total solution for our customers wherever it is possible.

Your client called you about a delay in Toronto before your Canadian partner did.
That is the visibility gap, and it is costing US 3PLs accounts they should never lose.

When your client knows something about their Canadian freight before you do, the message they receive is simple: your US partner does not have control of their own program.

At QRC Logistics we built our Canada 3PL Partner program so that never happens on your watch.

✔️ Real-time online POD access as deliveries happen across our Ontario network
✔️ Daily shipping and inventory reports matching your own client standards
✔️ WMS and TMS integration so your systems and ours communicate from day one
✔️ EDI connectivity with major ecommerce portals
✔️ One dedicated operations contact for live updates, not a ticket queue
✔️ 48 years of Canadian logistics operations behind every program we run

You hold your clients to a visibility standard.

Your Canadian partner should hold themselves to the same one.

The invoice arrived. It was 40% higher than the quote.

This is one of the most expensive lessons freight forwarders learn about choosing a Canadian 3PL on price alone. The quote gets you in. The invoice takes the margin out.

Fuel surcharges that were never discussed. Per-touch fees buried in the terms. Minimum charges that applied to shipments you were told would be exempt.

By the time the invoice lands, you have already committed to your client. The difference is yours to absorb.

At QRC, our billing has worked the same way since 1978. A clear base rate. A defined per-skid increment. Nothing on an invoice that was not discussed before the first shipment moved.

✔️ Transparent, no-surprise billing structure
✔️ Clear base rate plus defined per-skid LTL increment
✔️ No hidden surcharges or undisclosed fees
✔️ Rate card shared before you commit to anything
✔️ CIFFA member, PIP-approved, Canadian-owned since 1978

Stop absorbing surprise invoices from a partner who does not deserve the account. Call us today and we will walk you through our full pricing before you move a single skid.

Selling across ecommerce, retail, and marketplace at the same time? This is the inventory problem nobody warns you about.

When your stock is running across more than one channel without a unified system behind it, the math eventually stops working.

You oversell a SKU because two channels pulled from the same pool at the same time.
You short-ship a retail order because the inventory count was 24 hours out of date.
Your team spends half a day every week reconciling stock numbers that should be updating in real time.

This is not a sign that the business is being run badly.

It is a sign that the brand grew faster than the system underneath it.

The fix is not more spreadsheets.

It is one warehouse, one WMS, one operation that sees every channel in real time and updates the moment anything moves.

✔️ Real-time WMS visibility across every channel
✔️ EDI integration with retail portals and ecommerce platforms
✔️ Single inventory pool managed in one place
✔️ Daily shipping and inventory reports so you always know exactly where you stand
✔️ 300,000 sq ft facility in Halton Hills, Ontario, one minute off the 401

If your team is working around your inventory system instead of relying on it, that problem has a solution.

Behind every early morning route, every late delivery, every long day on the road, there are people doing it for someone they love.

At QRC Logistics, we know many fathers spend their days moving freight while carrying the responsibility of providing for their families too.

Today, we recognize the dads behind the wheel, in the warehouse, in the office, and everywhere in between.

Thank you for the strength, dedication, and care you bring every day. Happy Fathers' Day! 💛

What does your driver actually cost you inside Ontario?

Border processing. GTA congestion. Multi-stop retail routing. Appointment windows. The drive back to the crossing.

That is 7 to 11 hours of HOS burned in Canada before your driver can run the southbound load that makes the lane profitable.

QRC Logistics gives you a better option.
✔️ Your driver drops at our Halton Hills cross-dock at the border
✔️ He turns south with his full HOS cycle intact
✔️ He runs the southbound load that pays
✔️ QRC handles all Ontario delivery from the handoff forward
✔️ 98.9% on-time delivery to every retail and commercial door
✔️ Fixed, predictable handoff model with real tracking and electronic POD

The question is not whether you can afford a Canadian final mile partner.
The question is what you are losing every week without one.

You quoted your client based on what your Canadian partner told you. The first real invoice was 40% higher.

Surprise billing from Canadian 3PLs is one of the most documented complaints in the US logistics industry. Undisclosed fuel surcharges. Per-touch fees nobody mentioned. Handling charges buried in a rate schedule you were never walked through.

And by the time the invoice arrives, you are already operationally committed. Switching is painful. So you absorb the margin hit. And the account quietly stops being worth running.

At QRC Logistics we have operated on a transparent, no-surprise billing model for 48 years.

✔️ Clear base charge for the first skid, documented before the first shipment moves
✔️ Discounted per-skid incremental rate on additional skids on the same call
✔️ No undisclosed fuel surcharges added after the fact
✔️ No per-touch fees that were not in the original rate card
✔️ Every invoice matches what you were quoted

Your margin model should never depend on holding your breath when the Canadian invoice arrives.

Your client got a chargeback. Your Canadian 3PL says the freight was delivered.
Both of those things can be true at the same time. That is the problem.

Major Canadian retailers require delivery to a specific dock, inside a confirmed appointment window, with an advance shipping notice already filed. Miss any one of those three things and the chargeback is issued automatically. No appeal.

Most domestic 3PLs were not built for retail compliance. They do not know what a routing guide is. And when the chargeback lands, it lands on your client. Which means it lands on you.

At QRC, retail appointment delivery is not something we added to our service list. It is the business we built in 1978. Every driver knows the difference between a confirmed window and a best-effort estimate. Every delivery is tracked, signed, and visible to you in real time.

We do not just deliver freight. We protect your client relationships.
✔️ Retail appointment delivery across the GTA and Ontario
✔️ ASN and routing guide compliance
✔️ Tailgate-equipped fleet for dock and non-dock locations
✔️ Real-time WMS visibility and signed POD on every delivery
✔️ 98.9% on-time delivery
✔️ CIFFA member, PIP-approved, Canadian-owned since 1978

Your retailer is deducting from invoices you already earned. Do you know exactly how much?

Most Ontario brands with active retail accounts are losing between $5,000 and $50,000 a year to chargebacks.

Not because they are making big mistakes. Because retail compliance is not built into their warehouse operation. It is an afterthought. A checklist. Something someone remembers to run when they have time.

Here is what triggers a chargeback:
✔️ Delivery window missed by even a few hours
✔️ ASN sent late or formatted incorrectly
✔️ Label that does not match the retailer's routing guide exactly
✔️ Pallet built outside spec
✔️ Missing or incorrect documentation at the dock

Each one feels small. Together they quietly eat the margin you already sold.

At QRC, retail compliance is built into the dock process. It has been since the 1990s. Every shipment going to a retail account is checked against the routing guide before it leaves our floor.

Because chargebacks are margin you earned and should not be handing back.

You introduced your Canadian partner to your best client. Six months later, they had a direct contract.

This is the fear every US 3PL carries into a Canadian partner evaluation. And almost nobody in the Canadian 3PL market is addressing it directly.

Because most Canadian 3PLs have never formally committed not to approach your clients.

Not in writing. Not in a documented program. Not in a way you can actually hold them to.

At QRC Logistics we built our Canada 3PL Partner program around one non-negotiable: your clients are always yours.

✔️ Documented non-solicitation commitment, in writing, not just a handshake
✔️ We never contact your end clients without your explicit instruction
✔️ We never position QRC services directly to companies you introduce us to
✔️ We operate as your Canadian extension, not as a competing presence in your accounts
✔️ 48 years of independent Canadian operations built on long-term partner trust

The trust has to come first. Our written commitment makes it real.

If that commitment is what has been holding you back from choosing a Canadian partner, call us at 1-800-430-7874 or visit the link below. The conversation about how the commitment works starts there.
