ELIZABETH, New Jersey — New England Motor Freight is partnering with Toronto’s Concord Transportation to handle transborder shipments. <br>
<br>
Under the terms of the agreement, Concord will receive NEMF freight in Chicago for delivery to Western Canada, in Toronto for Ontario deliveries, and in Montreal for shipments to Quebec and Atlantic Canada. To complete the exchange Concord freight destined for the Northeast United States will flow through NEMF.<br>
