MISSISSAUGA, ON – The cross-border trucking company Polaris Transportation said this week is has launched overnight less-than-truckload service between the Boston and Toronto metropolitan areas.

According to Dave Bush, vice president of business processes, the move by the company is the latest in a series of initiatives to increase efficiency while improving service.

“We’ve been very encouraged by our recent success with the Toronto/Los Angeles lane. We have significantly reduced transit times and have experienced over a 19 percent increase in activity since the launch,” he said. “We have used a similar process to enhance the Boston/ Toronto corridor. Better yet, a large portion of Central and Eastern Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island and parts of Eastern Connecticut benefit from this enhanced service offering.”

Polaris Transportation said it serves a wide range of industries including: high-tech, tourism, medical, printing and government defense.

“Customers looking for asset based, LTL service for their time sensitive requirements can rely on us with confidence,” said Polaris President Larry Cox. “Our future growth will rely heavily on our abilities to identify and execute continued improvements to our cross border transit times and overall customer service.”
