Maritime Ontario: About Us: Company Profile



Established in 1962, Maritime-Ontario Freight Lines Limited (M-O®) is proud of its rich history and excited about the future of transportation in Canada and the United States. M-O has many years of experience in transportation of LTL (less than truckload) and truckload freight between Ontario, Quebec and both eastern and Western Canada. Times are changing, and M-O is leading the way to more efficient, consistent and innovative method of transporting your freight. Investments in technology, plus our revolutionary FreightWORKS® system of moving palletized freight put M-O at the forefront of Canadian transportation.

M-O has multiple divisions creatively developed to meet the needs of our customers. The evolution of these diverse divisions demonstrate our flexibility and eagerness to meet customer demands. Our six distinct operating divisions include: M-O® FreightWORKS®, M-O® ParcelWORKS® M-O® PaperXPRESS®, M-O® BULK Services®, M-O® COLDChain®, and M-O® LogisticWORKS®.


Over-the-road and intermodal full load and less-than-truckload (LTL) general freight transportation service throughout Canada. This segment of our business services over 5,000 customers.

This division features our unique logistics FreightWORKS loading system. Benefits to shippers include safe handling of their product as each pallet occupies its own space in the trailer without touching any other freight. This achieves more pallets per load which results in less cost per pallet and provides excellent consolidation opportunities for large volume shippers.


This Dedicated Contract Services division was launched in 1989 to service the GTA for M-O’s parcel delivery contract on behalf of Canada Post Corporation. Parcelworks provides local LTL deliveries in the Greater Toronto area; dedicated contract services and transportation of full truckloads in both Canada and the United States.


Formed in April 2002, PaperXpress provides a powerful network of home delivery service to Peel Halton residents. Originally initiated through the acquisition of The Toronto Star contract, this division is rapidly expanding its customer base. Currently, M-O’s PaperXpress division delivers 80,000 newspapers daily Monday to Friday and 110,000 newspapers on Saturdays. Recently this division expanded its service capabilities to include magazine distribution.


A contract tank carrier, M-O® BULK Services® provides transportation throughout Ontario with its modern fleet of tank trailers.



Our team of Temperature-Critical Delivery Experts offer a niche market transportation service, specializing in validated small-drop temperature-verified transportation within and between major cities in Canada. Our fleet of extraordinary vehicles are state-of-the-art and are designed to assist pharmaceutical and food companies in meeting tougher stringent FDA standards.
