MGA International is the strongest pick for freight and heavy haul, holding 4.5 stars from 76 reviews with decades of 3PL experience.

MGA International

4.576 Google reviews

MGA International is a 3PL and trucking company out of Etobicoke handling flatbed, heavy haul, refrigerated and international freight, describing itself with over 25 years in logistics. Reviewers talk about genuinely unusual loads, an antique carriage, a 46,000-pound push boat, an 8,000-pound pod, arranged with permits, pilot cars and border paperwork handled in-house. One staff member, Greg Grimes, comes up by name across several reviews as the point of contact.

What people praise

  • Handles complex, oversized or irregular loads
  • Coordinates permits, customs and pilot cars directly
  • Named staff get repeat praise for follow-through
  • Delivers on time even for unusual freight

Worth knowing

  • Best suited to specialty or oversized freight rather than routine local moves

Our take: The reviews here read less like generic praise and more like specific case studies of hard shipments done right. That's a strong signal for anyone with a load that doesn't fit a standard truck.

#3🕑 Open 5 days/wk

Rose Rocket

4.558 Google reviews

Rose Rocket is a transportation management software platform built for freight brokers, carriers and 3PLs to run dispatch, tendering and invoicing, headquartered in Toronto. It is not a company you'd hire to physically move a truckload; it's the software some trucking companies run behind the scenes. Its reviews are a mix of praise for staff and pointed complaints from users about software bugs and slow support.

What people praise

  • Praised by some reviewers for helpful staff during onboarding

Worth knowing

  • Several reviewers report unresolved software bugs and slow support
  • Not a trucking or freight-hauling service at all

Our take: It shows up under trucking company searches because of how Google categorizes it, but it won't move your freight. If you need a truck, look at the other names on this page instead.

Watch: 3 Best Trucking Companies in Toronto (2026)

How we scored these companies

Rating is each company’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence blends rating and volume, so a strong average built on hundreds of reviews scores higher than the same average on a handful. Recency checks how current the reviews are. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does trucking or freight shipping cost from Toronto? (2026)

Pricing for freight and vehicle transport depends heavily on distance, load size, whether it’s door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal, and whether the freight needs special permits. None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed rate card, so get a written quote for your specific route and cargo before booking.

Serving Toronto and beyond

These companies operate out of downtown Toronto and Etobicoke, with routes covering the wider GTA and cross-Canada lanes to cities like Ottawa, Hamilton, Mississauga and beyond. Searching for a trucking company near me in Toronto will likely turn up a mix of local movers and national carriers like the ones here.

What to ask a trucking or freight company before booking

  • Is the quote for terminal-to-terminal or door-to-door service?
  • What insurance covers the load in transit?
  • Can they handle oversized, irregular or heavy freight if needed?
  • How will you get delivery updates and tracking?
  • What’s the estimated transit time for this specific route?
  • Are permits and customs paperwork handled by them or by you?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge plus top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these companies?

We compared real Google Business Profiles for trucking and freight companies operating out of Toronto, weighing rating, review volume and how recently customers were still leaving reviews.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026 and gets refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Is Rose Rocket a trucking company I can hire?

No. Rose Rocket is dispatch and logistics software used by trucking companies and brokers, not a carrier itself. If you need freight moved, look at the other companies on this page.

Can I ship a single vehicle instead of full freight?

Yes. MVS Canada on this list specializes specifically in vehicle transport rather than bulk freight.

The bottom line

For moving a car, MVS Canada’s review history is hard to beat. For heavy or oversized freight, MGA International’s decades of handling awkward loads make it the safer call. Get a written quote before you book either way, since freight pricing shifts with every route.
