Transit Time Calculator
Truck and rail transit between cities in Canada, the United States and Mexico, solo or team, with border crossings accounted for.
Enter a pickup and a delivery location to see transit times.
Truck estimates use about 650 miles a day for a solo driver and 1,200 to 1,300 for a team. Domestic rail times come from the railways' published intermodal schedules, with about a day at each end for pickup and delivery. Appointments, weather and inspections change real transit, so treat these as planning figures.
Typical transit times from the Greater Toronto Area
Planning figures for common lanes out of Toronto, Vaughan and the GTA, worked out the same way as the calculator above. Truck uses about 650 miles a day solo and 1,200 to 1,300 for a team; domestic rail uses the railways' published schedules.

How the calculator works
How is truck transit time estimated?
From the road mileage between pickup and delivery: about 650 miles a day for a solo driver within hours-of-service limits, and 1,200 to 1,300 miles a day for a team, with two drivers taking turns.
How is rail intermodal transit estimated?
For domestic lanes in Canada or the United States, from the railways' published ramp-to-ramp schedules, such as CN's intermodal service grid (for example, about four days from Toronto to Vancouver), plus about a day at each end for the truck legs. Cross-border rail is planned lane by lane, so the calculator asks you to contact Stryke for a schedule.
Is the transit time guaranteed?
No. It is a planning estimate. Pickup times, delivery appointments, weather, inspections and the specific carrier or train all change real transit. Request a quote for a transit commitment on your lane.
