What we move
Four services.
One file owner.
Most forwarders hand your shipment between five desks and hope nothing falls between them. We put one coordinator on the file and keep them there — quoting, booking, clearing and delivering under a single point of contact.

How it works
Four steps.
Nothing to chase.
01
Quote
Send the lane, commodity and volume. An all-in rate — freight, surcharges, duty estimate — lands inside one business day.
02
Book
We confirm space, issue the booking and collect documents. Your coordinator is named on the confirmation with a direct line.
03
Track
Milestones at gate-in, sail, arrival, customs release and delivery — pushed to you the moment each one clears.
04
Deliver
Drayage, unloading and final mile arranged. POD and the complete document set in your inbox the same day.

Why Bayline
Big forwarders give you a portal. We give you a person.
The industry has spent a decade building dashboards. Useful — but a dashboard has never once called a carrier at 6am to save a sailing, or spotted that an HTS code was going to trigger a hold three weeks before the vessel arrived.
- No hidden line items
Your quote is the invoice. If something changes you hear it from us first.
- One named coordinator
The same person from quote to POD — they know your commodity and your deadlines.
- Licensed and bonded
Offices in Toronto and Batavia, Illinois — forwarder and NVOCC on both sides of the border, bonded and fully insured.
