Freight Brokerage

Freight Broker & Cross-Border Shipping Services

When a shipment needs more capacity, different equipment or coverage beyond our own fleet, Y2K’s freight-brokerage department coordinates it through a network of reliable carriers — throughout British Columbia and Canada, across the Canada–United States border in either direction, and between locations within the United States.

All-Direction Freight Coverage

One transportation contact, whether your freight stays in BC or crosses the border.

Within Canada

Domestic freight throughout British Columbia and across Canada, coordinated through our carrier network.

Cross-Border, Both Directions

Why Businesses Choose Y2K for Brokerage

Y2K has been arranging transportation since 1999, and our brokerage department is an extension of the same dispatch team that runs our own fleet. That means the people arranging your carrier already understand your freight, your timelines and your site requirements — there is no handoff to a separate company.

For customers already using Y2K for courier, flatbed or crane truck work, brokerage keeps everything under one account and one point of contact, whether the shipment is going across town or across the continent.

  • Trusted carrier network across Canada and the United States
  • Multiple equipment types available
  • Route and schedule support
  • One point of contact for every shipment
  • Flexible capacity when you need overflow
