Ensuring stable transport to Toronto through a dual-hub strategy
When global trade conditions shift or geopolitical risks increase, demand for direct shipments to Toronto (YYZ) can concentrate rapidly, often leading to limited space availability and rising costs. To secure stable lead times and transport capacity, NX Canada has established a dual-hub routing strategy for shipments to YYZ, allowing routes to be flexibly adjusted according to operational conditions.
To address sudden increases in demand for direct shipments to Toronto—which may result in space shortages or unexpected congestion—NX Canada offers an additional routing option via Calgary (YYC) within Canada, alongside the conventional Chicago (ORD) route. This alternative routing enables quick adjustments and helps maintain stable transport capacity and lead times.
Using YYC within Canada as a transit hub helps avoid risks associated with cross-border transfers. From YYC, shipments connect to YYZ via domestic flights with multiple daily departures or truck transport with transit time approximately 3–4 days, ensuring stable transport capacity.
Routing shipments through ORD, geographically close to Toronto, enables shorter lead times while maintaining cost efficiency. This route is well suited for stable trade conditions or shipments where delivery speed is a priority.
