Shippers First Logistics Corporation is a Canadian-owned freight forwarding and logistics company providing transportation solutions throughout Canada, the United States, and international markets.
Based in Ontario, we support both import and export movements across a broad range of transportation modes, including international air and ocean freight, FCL and LCL, intermodal rail, over-the-road LTL and FTL, specialized and project cargo, temperature-controlled freight, and warehousing.
Our strength is managing shipments that require more than simply arranging transportation. We work closely with our customers and overseas partners to coordinate the complete movement, communicate proactively, and manage exceptions before they become problems.
Within Canada, we provide reliable origin and destination support, including port and airport handling, inland transportation, cross-border movements, final-mile delivery, project cargo coordination, and access to specialized equipment.
Shippers First combines experienced logistics professionals with modern shipment visibility, tracking, and communication tools to provide our partners with dependable local representation in Canada.
We believe strong international forwarding relationships are built on responsiveness, transparency, and protecting one another’s customer relationships. Our objective is simple: when an Umbrella Network partner entrusts a shipment to Shippers First, we represent that partner as professionally as we would represent ourselves.
Why ship through an Umbrella member in Canada
Umbrella Freight Network admits forwarders only after vetting their history, references and financial standing. For you that means an accountable, established contact in Canada rather than a list of strangers bidding on your cargo, and a partner at the other end of the lane who already works with them. Members meet in person every year at the network conference, so the relationships behind your shipment are real.

Questions shippers ask
Who is the Umbrella Freight Network member for Canada?
Shippers First Logistics is the network's member for Canada, admitted after its track record, references and standing were checked, so a request for Canada goes to a single accountable forwarder rather than a marketplace of bidders.
How do I get a freight quote for shipments to or from Canada?
Use the quote form on this site. Tell us the origin and destination, mode, cargo and volume. After you confirm your email address the request goes straight to the member forwarder for Canada, who replies directly, normally within one business day.
Do the members handle both imports and exports for Canada?
Yes. Members handle cargo moving in either direction and work with the Umbrella member at the other end of the lane, so both ends of the shipment are covered by vetted partners.
What does it cost to request a quote?
Nothing. Requesting a quote through Umbrella Freight Network is free and carries no obligation. You deal directly with the member forwarder on price and terms.
