Calgary Alberta - Today, Fastfrate Group is pleased to announce it has renewed and enhanced its long-term agreement with Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC).
 
This new five-year agreement features operational enhancements, infrastructure investments, and continental service expansion.
 
This agreement solidifies and expands Canada Drayage Inc. (CDI) (a Fastfrate Group company) as the largest coast-to-coast drayage provider in Canada.
 
As part of this announcement, CDI will become the largest drayage provider in North America for CPKC.
 
Fastfrate Group and CPKC will invest in the latest gate technology which will grant CDI immediate access through Fastfrate private entrances in CPKC facilities in both Toronto and Montreal.
 
Fastfrate Group will also dedicate 15 acres of prime property and invest $10 million in preparation to create a container yard next to CPKC's Toronto intermodal facility and a pre-pull yard for CPKC's domestic and international container line customers.
 
Both will streamline operations and improve fluidity for domestic and international shippers.
 
As part of this agreement, Fastfrate Group will market CPKC's full load service on a direct rail line between Canada and Mexico, and their industry leading Intermodal LTL service from all points in Canada as well as the Midwest U.S. to Texas, Mexico, and all points in between.
 
With an investment of 200 containers in 2023 and an additional 200 in 2024, Fastfrate will immediately deploy 100 containers on CPKC's Mexico Midwest Express service to meet the growing demand for Mexico.
 
This new agreement will bring benefits to the Fastfrate Group stable of companies well beyond CDI and the LTL business.
 
Fastfrate's most recent acquisition, Challenger Motor Freight, will benefit from an enhanced suite of services it can offer its largest customer segment, just in time automotive parts.
 
As one of CPKC's largest and longest standing customers, and as the only co-located shipper to CPKC in both Toronto and Montreal, the Fastfrate Group is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the new transnational reach that only the CPKC network can offer.
