Galaxy Freightline Inc. - Etobicoke

We have/and still use them. Never had a problem
May I ask what is the transit time VIA rail to Vancouver?
Because they picked 10 skids on the 10th and it was deliver on the 16th AM in Vancouver.
 
Happy to hear you're happy.
Per posted shipping schedule online, CP transit time from Toronto to VCR is:
* Cut off 19:00 Available Day 4 Morning*
 
CP is very consistent, barring de-railments and extreme weather. We use them several times per week for FTL. Maryp is correct so in markhamboy's example the container would have arrived the 14th. Not saying that Galaxy does this as we don't use them. Ed1 on here is from there I believe and fairly active here so I am sure once he sees this posting he will chime in.
 
Agreed - CP is usually good.
My issue/concern is not with CP but rather carriers who lie about putting freight on intermodal and then charging OTR rates. It's just a matter of integrity (or lack thereof) that gets to me.

Agreed Maryp. The rate should reflect according to the the service. Need to have a chat with them.
You all have a great and safe weekend.
 
We have used them on multiple loads to and from Nova Scotia this year, and unfortunately, nearly every shipment has had significant issues.

On one exclusively booked load, they took over 22 days to deliver, and when we questioned the transit time, we were told that if we didn’t like it, they could “drop our freight on the side of the road.”

We also had two exclusive shipments that were to be sealed. They crossdocked, reloaded freight mixed up, skids were left behind.
 
Galaxy almost exclusively consolidates and rails loads.

Just a known thing in the industry that Galaxy rails everything.

Story time - New dispatcher here booked Galaxy on a ON to AB, dedicated FTL. Ops manager told him I would cancel, its going to be railed and late 3-4 days. I chimed it, said the same thing. response - Nah its dedicated FTL, I have a contact who just started there and he wouldn't mess around.

1 week later, product is late. Line is shut down and the "contact" says he has no control over what ops did.
