All our equipment can take a 44,000 lbs payload. However,
depending upon the type of trailer used the weight can vary. For example in our
fleet, we do have a few 53
foot dry box that can handle up to 47,000 lbs and flat beds up to
50,000 lbs. It would be wise
to mention the weight of the
merchandise when placing your order.

| What
distance can my shipment travel in one day? The law allows a driver up to 10 hours of driving a day
which depending on the roads used equals approximately 500 to 600 miles per day.
If the destination of your order is within the 500 to 600 miles, your order will
be delivered the next day. For example: from Montreal, Quebec to Dallas, Texas =
1,794 miles divided by 600 miles per day, your order will take 3 days traveling
time. But for a slight additional charge, this traveling time can be reduced to
almost half by using team drivers.

Like any well organized company, we like to have 24 hours
notice. But if an emergency arises, Transport Rout-Am
will do everything to pick up your order in the best
possible time,
generally the same day in most cases.

Generally the paperwork required for custom clearance is
provided by the shipper and the forms are supplied by the
custom broker. However, you can download these forms directly from this site,
see
section Forms. They are easy to use and come with instructions on how
to fill them. However
depending on the situation, yes we could complete the customs papers if you
provide us with all the necessary information.
