About Traffix
Traffix is a Milton, Ontario-based freight broker founded in 1979 by Chuck Snow and Ann Mary Snow, ranked #20 on Transport Topics' 2026 Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms with $1.2 billion in gross revenue and $197 million in net revenue. The company offers multimodal North American transportation — truckload (van and reefer), LTL, intermodal, refrigerated, flatbed/heavy haul, drayage, expedited, and bulk/tank — across the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Traffix's core competitive advantage is its deep US-Canada cross-border carrier network, anchored by 45+ years of operating history in Ontario and a US headquarters opened in Chicago in 2017 to support southbound freight. The 2012 merger with Fresh Logistics added refrigerated and produce expertise. Traffix passed $1 billion in annual revenue and continues to climb the Transport Topics ranking, reflecting accelerating share gains in cross-border refrigerated and intermodal lanes.
For shippers, Traffix is best suited to North American programs with meaningful Canada cross-border volume — particularly food and beverage, manufacturing, retail, and automotive freight moving between Ontario, Quebec, and US markets. Domestic-US-only shippers with no cross-border component may find better fits with US-headquartered specialists; Traffix's edge is the cross-border lane density that comes from 45 years of Ontario carrier relationships.
