How do Loomis Tracking Numbers work in Canada?
Loomis tracking works by tracing and
tracking your packages using the hand-held computers the drivers carry with
them. Vital information about your shipments will be scanned at key locations
as your shipment moves from one point to another. Essential Information
regarding who received your package, what time it was received, the waybill number,
parcel number and other important information regarding your package will be
recorded.
You can check the progress using the ’Loomis Track Now’
application at the Loomis website.
First, add your tracking number associated with
your package. There are two ways to track a package that is via the Loomis
waybill or the parcel number. Both have no required format and is dependent on
what the shipper fill in the reference number sheet.
Examples:
- Domestic tracking number: dom1234567
- International tracking number example: manny12345yu
Where do I locate my Loomis Tracking Number?
Before shipping, a waybill must be filled out.
Here you will find the mandatory field of the reference number and this will
act as your Loomis tracking number (ex:
thisismyackag132).
Loomis
may use freight shipping (e.g. bus to rail to bus) while shipping your package
while International shipping Loomis will track the package by recording
information as it moves from one coast to another coast.
To use Loomis Tracking to track your package
while it moves, go to their website and under Track Now you would be able to
choose either via waybill or parcel number to track your package (e.g. waybill,
reference number). It is possible to input a total of 25 Loomis waybill numbers
separated by a comma.
Packages going into America will be using a
Paps tracker. This helps with tracking your shipment through customs and makes
going through faster and helps track information whether the shipping has been
held at customs. Pars trackers are for shipments going through Canadian customs
and have the same functions as Paps trackers.

How do I ship international packages with Loomis?
To ship an international package using Loomis
you will need two main documents, Customs Invoice for non-commercial shipping
(not-payed) and a Commercial Invoice (Paid shipping).
The new
Loomis express international waybill saves you time for shipping with a cost
below $1,250 U.S. as it combines everything into one Invoice. If however, your
shipping exceeds this amount then you would need a separate commercial invoice.
There is no stamps needed for international shipping. All the supplies you need
from stickers to labels, either for domestic or international can be provided
by Loomis.
When the package is ready to ship, find a drop-off point where you can leave your
package. To find a drop-off point use the Loomis drop-off locator.
