How do you plan an Ontario-to-SQDC cannabis shipment?

We begin with the SQDC receiving timing, then set a pickup window and Ontario-Quebec transit buffer around it. The carrier receives the confirmed destination, equipment, document, and contact details before departure.

Can you move palletized LTL into Quebec?

Yes. Palletized LTL can fit a smaller SQDC program, while direct or FTL service may be a better fit for larger volume or tighter timing. We make the recommendation after reviewing the load.

How do you handle Quebec shipment communication?

We keep the shipper, carrier, and receiving contact working from the same delivery information, with clear written milestones. If the shipment needs bilingual references or contacts, we reflect those requirements in the booking details.

Can you support recurring SQDC transportation?

Yes. We can build a recurring pickup and delivery rhythm for a producer's Quebec program, while checking each shipment against its current receiving and documentation instructions.

Cannabis Transportation/Quebec

SQDC — Quebec

Quebec Cannabis Freight for SQDC Distribution

Coordinate the Ontario-Quebec corridor and other Canadian origins into Quebec's single SQDC retail channel.

Quebec distribution overview

Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC)

Quebec is a concentrated cannabis destination: licensed-producer freight enters a single provincial retail channel and is commonly planned through the Greater Montreal logistics area. OTR Logistics Solutions builds each SQDC move around the receiving requirements, the origin facility's shipping window, and the documentation package—then keeps the carrier and shipper aligned across the Ontario-Quebec corridor or a longer Canadian lane.

The SQDC is Quebec's provincial cannabis retail and distribution channel. That single-channel structure makes preparation especially important: product, pallet, delivery, and documentation details should agree before a carrier is dispatched to the Montreal-area receiving point. We coordinate the transportation handoff and encourage shippers to confirm current SQDC instructions, including any language or document preferences, before tender.

SQDC delivery considerations

Plan the load for the confirmed SQDC receiving process in the Greater Montreal area
Keep delivery contacts and shipment references clear for a Quebec receiving handoff
Confirm current documentation and any French-language requirements with the shipper before dispatch
Allow corridor buffer for Montreal-area traffic and winter conditions on the Ontario-Quebec route
Keep chain-of-custody records and delivery confirmation with the shipment file
