CN Brampton intermodal drayage

Container drayage to and from CN Brampton.

Setara arranges container drayage to and from the CN Brampton Intermodal Terminal, one of the two GTA rail ramps we serve, and delivery to warehouses across the GTA and Ontario. We arrange your move through a vetted carrier network, with cross-border coordinated through a licensed customs broker partner.

Why CN Brampton is our home ramp

The intermodal terminal closest to our base.

The CN Brampton Intermodal Terminal sits on the CN network in Brampton, a short drive from our Vaughan base. That proximity is the simple advantage: short positioning miles between our Vaughan base and the ramp, on container moves we arrange regularly.

Off the CN Brampton ramp
Inbound containers railed into CN Brampton on the CN network, drayed to GTA and Ontario warehouses
Back to the ramp
Outbound and empty containers returned to CN Brampton for the rail leg of the move
To GTA & Ontario DCs
Final delivery to warehouses and distribution centres across Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto, Vaughan, and Hamilton

We are Vaughan-based and we arrange drayage to and from CN Brampton. We are not located inside or at the terminal, and we do not claim gate hours or turn times we cannot back up. We keep your containers moving cleanly and tell you straight where they are.

Arranged through a vetted carrier network

We arrange the move, you deal with one company.

Setara is a freight forwarder. We arrange, coordinate, and manage CN Brampton container moves through a vetted carrier network, with one point of contact and one invoice for the whole move.

You do not have to line up a drayage carrier yourself, chase the ramp, and then chase the delivery. We arrange your move through a vetted carrier network and stay on it from the ramp to the door.

Carriers are vetted before they carry anything for you, and we tell you which carrier is covering the move. When volume spikes or a move needs reach beyond the GTA, we go back to the same network for capacity.

On intermodal, rail covers the long haul and we arrange the drayage legs at each end, into and out of CN Brampton. Lower cost and lower emissions than running it all by road.

How close is Setara to CN Brampton?
Setara is based in Vaughan, Ontario, a short positioning run from the CN Brampton Intermodal Terminal. We are not located inside or at the terminal, so we do not claim gate hours or turn-time advantages we cannot back up. We keep containers moving cleanly and keep you updated on where they are.
Who actually moves the container?
Setara is a freight forwarder, so we arrange CN Brampton drayage through a vetted carrier network rather than running trucks ourselves. We tell you which carrier is covering the move, and you deal with one point of contact and one invoice for the whole thing.
