Transit Times for Shipping a Car within New Brunswick
New Brunswick Shipping Information
The main terminals are located in Fredericton and Moncton. If your vehicle is being shipped through one of the main terminals, it may wait for another truck to take it to its final destination and this will add to the wait and transit time. For example if you are shipping from Bathurst to Saint John the vehicle could be shipped to the Moncton terminal and will wait for the second truck to take it to Saint John.
The wait times and transit times are approximates, and not guaranteed for the standard method of shipping. Pickup and deliveries in remote locations can take longer.
Wait Time
2-6 days
Transit Time
1-2 days
How long does it take to ship my car?
The information above shows the approximate wait times and transit times for shipping a car within New Brunswick. Departures are usually not on fixed days as they can depend on volume of vehicles already booked and ones already at the terminals assigned to a load. It is recommended to book at least 1-2 weeks in advance. Booking in advance can help decrease transit times but normally you’re vehicle will be placed in queue to ship once it is at the terminal. If you are shipping by enclosed transport trailer these transit times may not apply.
What is “Wait Time” and “Transit Time”?
- The wait time is how long your vehicle will wait before it is picked up or how long it will wait to depart on the truck/train once it is dropped off at a terminal.
- The transit time is how long your vehicle will take to arrive to the next terminal once it has departed.
Will my car be shipped by multiple trucks?
For shorter moves it won’t be, but for longer shipments it will be on multiple trucks/trains before it’s delivered. Canada is the second largest country in the world and to ship a car directly in one shipment across the entire country would be very expensive. It is the most economical/inexpensive way to ship your vehicle when it’s transferred between multiple trucks/trains between major cities.
