Export and Import Freight en Montpelier

Montpelier, Vermont, holds a unique position in North American trade. Situated along the I-89 corridor, the state capital sits roughly two hours from the Canadian border and serves as a gateway between Quebec's industrial economy and the northeastern United States. For businesses in Montpelier that depend on moving goods across borders, through ports, and into markets throughout the continent, having a freight partner with deep cross-border expertise is not optional. It is essential.

Control Terrestre provides full truckload export and import freight services connecting Montpelier with destinations across North America and Central America.

A strategic corridor for cross-border trade

Vermont's proximity to Quebec makes it one of the most active cross-border trade corridors in the northeastern United States. The I-89 highway runs directly from Montpelier to the Highgate Springs port of entry, providing efficient access to Montreal and the broader Canadian market. Under the USMCA framework, goods moving between Vermont and Quebec benefit from preferential trade terms.

For import freight, Montpelier businesses source materials through multiple channels. The Port of Boston serves as a primary gateway for ocean freight, with overland transport completing the final leg into Vermont. Canadian border crossings provide another entry point. Control Terrestre coordinates the land transport segments of these supply chains.

Export freight services for Vermont's key industries

Vermont has built a global reputation around its specialty food products. Maple syrup, artisan cheese, craft beverages, and organic goods from producers in and around Montpelier reach markets throughout North America. Control Terrestre operates a fleet that includes 48-foot and 53-foot reefer trailers for perishable Vermont exports.

The granite industry represents another significant export sector. Our flatbed and curtain side trailer options provide the flexibility needed for granite shipments. For manufacturers exporting components, our dry van fleet handles standard freight with the reliability that cross-border shipments demand.
