Cannabis Transportation Across Canada
OTR Logistics Solutions provides commercial B2B cannabis freight coordination for authorized producers, processors, co-packers, brands and distribution partners. We do not provide consumer cannabis delivery. Plan around your shipment’s specific requirements.
LTL, FTL, dedicated, expedited and temperature-controlled options are selected around product requirements, carrier capabilities and receiver instructions.
Cannabis Transportation Built Around Accountability
Receiver appointments and equipment instructions shape each booking. OTR coordinates transportation using shipper-supplied information.
Shippers remain responsible for handling instructions, records and regulatory decisions. OTR does not replace the carrier, receiver or authority.
Carrier Coordination
OTR coordinates with a carrier selected for the specified shipment, equipment, lane and operating requirements.
Shipment Milestones
Updates are shared as information becomes available from the carrier and other shipment participants.
Exception Communication
When a carrier reports a delay or issue, OTR relays the available information to the customer for planning.
Receiver Requirements
Delivery instructions and appointments are coordinated against the details confirmed by the shipper and receiver.
Clear Responsibilities
Shippers and carriers remain responsible for their respective records, handling procedures and regulatory obligations.
Provincial Cannabis Distribution Transportation
OTR Logistics Solutions coordinates transportation into provincial cannabis distribution networks across Canada. Local instructions, appointments, shipment records and carrier availability vary by shipment and receiving program.
Appointment-Driven Deliveries
Provincial distribution facilities operate on strict appointment windows. We plan, confirm, and coordinate to meet those requirements.
Documentation Awareness
Cannabis freight into provincial distribution comes with specific documentation expectations. We work with your team to ensure shipments are properly prepared.
National Distribution Coverage
From Ontario and Alberta to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec, and Yukon — we support provincial distribution transportation across Canada.
Note: OTR Logistics Solutions coordinates transportation to and from provincial cannabis distribution facilities. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any provincial cannabis authority or government body.

Transportation Solutions Built Around Your Shipment
No two cannabis shipments are exactly alike. Shipment value, pallet count, dimensions, temperature requirements, route, delivery appointment, urgency, and the level of visibility required all influence how freight should move.
OTR Logistics Solutions works with each client to determine the right transportation option — whether that's a dedicated sprinter van, palletized LTL, full truckload, temperature-controlled service, or expedited freight. We coordinate the capacity, documentation, and delivery to match.
Provincial Distribution Shipments
Confirm distributor appointments and documentation. OTR coordinates delivery scheduling, carrier selection and shipment milestones.
Interprovincial Shipments
Plan interprovincial freight with the required shipment records and receiving instructions for authorized producers, processors and brands.
Temperature Sensitive Products
For extracts, edibles and other sensitive products, OTR coordinates temperature-controlled equipment according to the specified range and handling instructions.
Smaller Palletized Shipments
Palletized LTL may suit smaller commercial cannabis shipments when the product value, packaging, handling requirements, temperature range, carrier capability and receiving instructions support a shared-freight service. Dedicated transportation may be recommended when shipment requirements call for exclusive capacity or more controlled handling.
Dedicated High-Value Shipments
Exclusive capacity may suit high-value freight, controlled-handling requirements or recurring provincial programs, subject to carrier availability.
Expedited Cannabis Freight
For urgent freight, request pickup and routing options suited to the timeline, lane and available capacity.

One Point of Contact

Compliance-Focused Transportation
Cannabis transportation needs documentation, suitable carrier selection and attention to federal and provincial requirements.
OTR coordinates transportation and communicates your requirements. Shippers, receivers and carriers retain their respective compliance responsibilities. Provide product handling instructions, the required temperature range, packaging details, purchase-order references and receiving contacts before booking. Flag any limits on shared-freight handling or transfers so suitable carrier capacity can be assessed. Changes to appointments, product specifications or receiving instructions should be communicated promptly. Your compliance team determines the applicable authorizations and product requirements; transportation planning does not replace those decisions or the receiver’s acceptance process.
