Transit time for one driver is about 3 h 12 min. The trip fits into one driver's shift, so the truck can load and deliver on the same day.
Road freight on Seattle to Vancouver 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 the United States into Canada, so the carrier needs transport and customs papers for both sides, plus export and import declarations at the border.
