Overview:
Hercules initially began as a freight forwarder in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, May 1985 and through the years evolved into a full service asset based motor carrier. Hercules moves approximately 25,000 LTL shipments per month and employs over 500 people in North America.

Service:

We service all major Canadian Cities from the United States, as well as selected US regional markets through one of our 24 “no break-bulk” terminals. All of our lanes and terminal maps can be found at www.herculesfreight.com/terminal.php. Hercules has continued development of our successful “no break-bulk” terminal network and team driven line-haul units. Our structure not only allows us to achieve transit times often 1-4 days faster than competition in the LTL sector, but also reduces the opportunity for damage and misrouting.

Canadian Border:

Leading innovation in truck technology for border crossing is also paramount to Hercules. We became the FIRST highway carrier to communicate electronically (EDI) with Canada Customs after becoming the first LTL Carrier CSA Approved in August 2001. Hercules is also FAST (Free and Secure Trade), PIP (Partners in Protection) and CTPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) approved. We have also become an in-house Canadian Customs Broker and offer a full Canadian Customs Brokerage Service.


Vision:

May 2005 marked twenty years of success and forward thinking concepts, which stemmed from Hercules President, Martin T. Burnham’s vision of a streamlined carrier working responsibly with the governments of Canada and the United Sates. Hercules’ U.S. head office is in Los Angeles California. Martin Burnham also serves as the Chairman of the ATA’s (American Trucking Association) Cross Border Committee and sits on the board of the ATA’s National Accounting & Finance Council. Under Mr. Burnham’s guidance Hercules has experienced healthy growth year over year.
