DCL uses many shipping carriers to deliver packages for our customers around the world. Our diversified portfolio of carriers and services gives our customers true optimization and lowered costs to ship anywhere.

Below is a list of all carriers and services in DCL's portfolio. When shipping on DCL’s account, customers must map to one of these carriers. If a carrier is chosen that is not on this list, or is not spelled out in the original contract agreement or price addendum, the customer will pay list rate and no DCL discount will apply.

Carriers Sorted by Shipping Type

Small Package (SPX)

  • Domestic: UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL eCommerce

  • International: UPS, FedEx, USPS, Landmark, Passport

Less than Truckload (LTL)/ Truckload (TL)

  • Domestic & International: CH Robinson, Team Worldwide

  • CH Robinson is DCL’s Strategic partner for LTL/TL needs, they offer a wide variety of LTL carriers to select from depending on which lane freight is traveling in.

For all international shipping, customers must be integrated with Passport or Landmark before they start shipping.

Local Moves

DCL offers local moves between a 1-60 mile radius, these are great for short distance runs that require a same-day delivery.

  • Fremont: Click4Truck, UltraEx, Western Direct

  • Ontario: Heaven Express, Orange Courier, OPC

  • Kentucky: TForce, M&M Cartage, Mercury Transportation

  • York: n/a

If you are interested in using a carrier outside of our network, please reach out to your Account Manager.
