Operational Specifications for YUL5
Guaranteeing uninterrupted freight processing at the Saint-Hubert terminal relies entirely on complete alignment with regional North American receiving protocols.
Booking and Hours
- Appointments: Required via Carrier Central
- Operating Window: Multi-shift operation; delivery windows follow your confirmed Carrier Central appointment time. Exact dock hours are not publicly specified, but the facility is designed for high-throughput, extended-hour (often near 24/7) operations typical of large Amazon sortation and fulfillment sites in Canada.
Receiving Hours
By appointment (local time, Eastern Time)
Vehicle Requirements
- Active carrier profile and a confirmed Carrier Central appointment
- Dock-high, rear unloading at a standard bay (no side or ground-level unloading)
- Typical inbound equipment by appointment: 53' dry van trailers with Canadian highway tractors on Québec, interprovincial, and cross-border lanes; 48' trailers or straight trucks may be accepted for specific regional deliveries
- Driver presents BOL/manifest, packing list, and appointment reference on arrival
- Compliance with on-site safety and yard rules: PPE where required, posted speed limits, backing and chocking procedures, use of designated staging / check-in areas, and instructions from yard marshals or security
Cargo Preparation
- Pallets: Standard 40" × 48" GMA wooden pallets, 4-way access, Grade B or better (≈ 1,000 mm × 1,200 mm), consistent with Amazon North America pallet guidelines for Canadian FCs
- Box & Pallet Labels:
- Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central (.ca)
- Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap with barcodes unobstructed and easily scannable
- Wrapping & Stability: Clear stretch wrap; stable, cubic loads with no overhang beyond pallet edges. Use corner boards, strapping, and layer pads where needed to keep loads secure and to protect cartons during transit and handling.
- Floor-Loaded / FCL: Follow Amazon’s North America Floor Loading Policy. Keep SKUs clearly segregated, maintain safe stack heights, and load cartons so that unloading and scanning are efficient. Non-compliant or poorly prepared floor-loads may be delayed, require rework at the shipper’s cost, or be refused at receiving.
- Slip Sheets:. Only where explicitly allowed by current Amazon Canada guidance and confirmed in the Carrier Central appointment notes. Where such confirmation is not available, plan for conventional palletized unloading at YUL5.
