Truck dispatch in New Brunswick — how it works
JackRick Logistics dispatches New Brunswick freight at a flat 10% per load, invoiced every Friday: Maritime through-freight, New England cross-border lanes, and Saint John port moves, with border and cabotage planned honestly — the right crossing, the right appointment, the right lane structure. Broker vetting, written rate confirmations, and check calls come standard; a 30-day written notice ends the arrangement.
Gateway weeks are connection weeks: Nova Scotia and PEI freight flowing through, New England legs crossing south, port moves cycling through Saint John. We sequence the connections so the gateway position multiplies your options instead of just multiplying your miles.
New Brunswick's gateway position
Three facts make the gateway: the land bridge, the US border, and the port. All road freight between the Maritimes and the rest of Canada passes through New Brunswick — there is no other way — and the Maine border crossings make it the Atlantic provinces' door to New England.
That position means New Brunswick carriers never lack for through-freight, and US carriers find natural cross-border lanes here. The dispatch value is lane selection: with this many options, the week is won by choosing well.
Three lane families
The lane-family table is the New Brunswick planning framework — how the province earns its gateway title and what each family needs from dispatch.
| Lane family | What it is | Dispatch notes | |---|---|---| | Maritime through-freight | NS/PEI ↔ Quebec and beyond, via the land bridge | Constant flow; chain legs through the province | | New England cross-border | NB ↔ Maine and New England | Crossing choice around appointments and enrollment | | Saint John port | Container and bulk port moves | Appointment-driven; industrial shipper norms |
New England lanes: the cross-border playbook
The New Brunswick–New England lanes are bread-and-butter cross-border work: forestry and manufactured products south, distribution and supplies north, with appointment density on the New England side that rewards planning. These lanes suit carriers who like rhythm — same crossings, same appointment patterns, week after week.
The playbook: verify the cross-border setup once, then run the rhythm — crossing choice by appointment, FAST enrollment where it pays, reloads planned as the international move's continuation under cabotage rules. We manage the cadence; you drive the pattern.
Through-freight: the Maritime connection
Through-freight is New Brunswick's birthright — the constant flow between the Maritimes and central Canada that never stops. For NB-based carriers it's home-field freight: you live on the corridor, so you run it better than anyone passing through.
We build weeks that treat the land bridge as the spine: through-freight legs chained end to end, with New England or port moves as the branches. The corridor pays the bills; the branches boost the month. That's the gateway math.
What dispatch costs on New Brunswick freight
