Understanding drayage in Montreal
Port terminals
Drayage at the Port of Montreal, Explained
You reach Montreal by river, not open ocean — roughly 1,600 km up the St. Lawrence. The container terminals run in a line along the city's east end, from the Bickerdike pier near Old Montreal out to Viau in Mercier–Hochelaga.
Termont (Maisonneuve & Viau)
The port's largest combined container capacity, at the east end of the terminal row.
Montreal Gateway (Racine & Bickerdike)
Closer to downtown, with on-dock service to both CN and CP.
Terminal appointment windows here are tighter than at an inland rail yard, and winter can compress the schedule further. Booking the pickup early matters more in Montreal than shippers used to Toronto expect.
Loads crossing into the US Northeast are routine out of Montreal — check that your carrier handles bilingual paperwork and CBP coordination up front, since it affects both the quote and how cleanly the load clears the border.

Why Montreal Is Canada's Only Two-Railway Port
Montreal is the one Canadian container port that CN and CP both reach directly, on-dock. A box can leave on either railway without a trucked transfer between yards — an advantage Vancouver and Halifax do not have.
CN Taschereau Yard
CN's main Montreal intermodal yard, in Saint-Laurent on the west side of the island.
CP Lachine Intermodal
CP's Montreal ramp, in Lachine minutes from the port's CP connection.
On-dock CN & CP
Both railways load containers inside the terminals, so rail-first traffic runs heavier here than truck-first drayage.
The two ramps sit on opposite sides of the island — Saint-Laurent versus Lachine — so which railway has your container changes the local drive as much as the destination does.
If the box is moving inland by rail, ask which railway and which yard early. It's the detail that decides whether the drayage leg is 15 minutes or 45.
How It Works in Montreal
Three steps to go from searching the directory to a quote in your inbox.
01
Find Port & Rail Carriers
Search for companies moving containers off vessels at the Port of Montreal or handling CN and CP rail yard pickups, including carriers offering cross-border service into the US Northeast.
02
Compare Verified Montreal Profiles
Every listing is reviewed before it appears in the directory. Compare coverage, equipment, and whether a carrier handles port drayage, rail drayage, or both.
03
Send a Quote Request
Note your terminal or rail yard, container size, and delivery address, then contact a carrier directly — appointment windows in Montreal can be tight, so early outreach helps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about finding and hiring a drayage company in Montreal.
Montreal drayage carriers move containers between the Port of Montreal, CN and CP rail yards, and warehouses or distribution centres across Quebec. As one of the busiest container ports on the St. Lawrence, Montreal drayage often involves tighter terminal appointment windows than inland cities, so scheduling matters.
Both. Some carriers focus on port drayage — moving containers directly off vessels at the Port of Montreal — while others specialize in rail drayage, handling containers that arrive by CN or CP train for onward distribution. Many listed companies offer both, along with cross-border service into the US Northeast.
Rates vary with container size, distance from the port or rail yard, chassis and equipment needs, and demurrage risk if a container sits at the terminal. Bilingual documentation and customs coordination can also factor into quotes for cross-border moves. Reach out to a listed carrier directly for pricing on your lane.
Open the profile of a company that serves the port or rail yard you need, and use the contact details or quote request option shown. Searching the directory and contacting carriers is free, with no booking fees added by Container Intermodal.
Yes. Companies are reviewed before they are added to the directory, so the providers you see for Montreal have been checked rather than pulled from an unverified listing source.
