CONSULTRANS

Late June 2002, Livingston International acquired Consultrans, a transportation brokerage, warehousing and distribution services company. This move doubles our size in the growing North American transportation management business. We continue to offer complete transportation services, now grouped under the Consultrans name and with a brand new image.

Consultrans delivers seamless transportation management solutions to and from Canada, the United States and Mexico, from point of origin through to final destination. We arrange for local pick-up by reliable air and truck transport carriers, a speedy border crossing through Livingston’s extensive customs brokerage network and delivery to final destination. And we keep track of every shipment, every step of the way.

As part of our comprehensive logistics services, we can recommend effective, cost-efficient alternatives to your current transportation practices. We also offer customized pick-and-pack services for small to medium-sized operations as well as short and long-term storage.

Certified ISO 9002: 1994, Consultrans’ professional services include:
- Direct pick-up, less-than-truckload and full truckload shipments
- Expedited ground and air service
- Small parcel delivery
- Consolidation and de-consolidation programs

Take greater control of your cross-border shipping .
Maximize compliance.
Eliminate delays at the border.
Improve efficiencies in your supply chain.

Take greater control of your cross-border and domestic shipping
By managing your shipment from door-to-door, Livingston ensures your delivery times are met and your compliance needs are protected, regardless of shipment size. You now have greater control over your cross-border shipping, with a single source to track the status of each shipment. We can even work with your vendors to ensure the only thing you have to deal with is what to do with the freight when it arrives at your door, on time.  

Maximize compliance
New initiatives with Customs have made carrier selection far more important to ensure a smooth border crossing. Not only must your shipment measure up, so must your carrier. By using domestic carriers on both sides of the border, Livingston ensures your carrier maintains the highest level of compliance. Domestic shipments will be cross-docked at the border, eliminating the chance of your freight being held because a carrier is non-compliant.

Eliminate delays at the border
We ensure your documentation is complete and accurate before your goods even reach the border. And your shipments are transported on a designated fleet service that carries only Livingston shipments, resulting in non-stop border crossings. This process helps you avoid delays caused by multiple shipments with various brokers' documentation, travelling on a single truck.

Improve efficiencies in your supply chain
Many vendors offer pre-paid shipping if domestically shipped within Canada or the U.S. At Livingston, we can help design a cross-border program to maximize your advantage with vendors in both countries. Livingston can also ensure we select the appropriate carrier with the best coverage in the areas that best suit your shipping patterns. In addition, without ever increasing your overhead, you can take advantage of our facilities to assure your presence in Canadian and U.S. markets.
