Who is Livingston Freight?
Livingston Freight
is a Canadian-owned company with
over 20 years of experience and
expertise in handling cars, trucks
and other vehicles. Our service is
fast, highly efficient and insured.
We have seven offices across Canada
to serve you best.
Our partnership with Livingston
Freight “the careful car movers”
allows you the option of buying or
selling your car from coast to
coast. This increases your market
from your neighbourhood to the whole
country. This can also be included
as an added incentive for the buyer
to purchase your car if you include
the cost of door to door
transportation. |
|
Pick up and Delivery Service
With our optional door to door valet
service, you can leave everything to
us and enjoy complete peace of mind,
while we take care of the details.
We will pick up your vehicle from
wherever you tell us, be it home,
place of work, or any other
location. Then we ship it via
Canadian National Railway and
deliver to your precise chosen
location. |
|
CN Rail
Livingston Freight works with CN. We
use only professional loading crews
and the most modern technology.
Enclosed rail cars, with
sophisticated tie-down systems to
secure the ride, protect your
vehicle from vandalism, the elements
and accidental damage. CN's EDI
monitoring and tracing systems help
ensure reliable, on time delivery. |

The Shipping process - from start to
finish
Here is
how we take care of your car from
start to finish. |
|
|
The start of our engagement with you
begins with a complete survey of the
vehicle. The survey is done so both
parties are aware of the condition
of the vehicle at origin. Our
qualified surveyors generally take
five minutes to complete the
process. |
 |
|
If we are providing door to door
service, the vehicle is then
carefully driven onto a flatbed tow
truck, for transportation to our
rail depot. |
|
The vehicles are then driven up
specially designed ramps into the CN
railcars. The ramps and railcars are
designed so that no damages can
occur during the loading process. |
 |
|
The vehicle is then fastened into
the CN railcar so that the vehicle
freely rides on its own suspension.
This process ensures no damages may
occur while your vehicle is in
transit. Most newly manufactured
cars are distributed across North
America with these exact railcars. |
 |
|
At the destination depot, the
vehicles are driven down the ramps
and placed in Livingston Freight's
secured compound. Your car is now
ready for pickup or delivery to you. |
