Road freight on Montreal to Houston is booked as FTL (a full truck for one shipper) or LTL and groupage (you pay for the pallet places you use).

The trip crosses from Canada into the United States, so the carrier needs transport and customs papers for both sides, plus export and import declarations at the border.
