Complete Freight Solutions for British Columbia
City Transfer provides reliable freight transportation services throughout the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast, Powell River and surrounding areas, specializing in routes that require experience, coordination, and flexibility. By combining land and marine transportation, we deliver efficient freight solutions to coastal and water-locked communities where standard carriers fall short.
From small shipments to oversized, regulated, or temperature-sensitive freight, we handle the logistics so your goods arrive safely, on time, and without surprises.
Less than a trailer load (LTL)
This service is used for smaller freight or freight that does not take up an entire trailer. In this type of shipping, the shipper pays for space their freight takes up in a trailer, allowing for other shipments to occupy the other space left in the trailer, creating a more cost-effective way to transport freight.
Trailer Load (TL)
A trailer load occurs when a shipment requires the use of the entire trailer. This service provides some benefits that LTL shipments do not receive. Full trailer loads can occur in a dry van, a flat deck, or a temperature-controlled trailer. We offer this service to a range of different customers, including but not limited to grocery stores, department stores, construction projects, garbage and recycling transportation, building supplies stores and other customers that require large shipments.
Flat Deck
Our flat decks allow us to transport a wider range of materials that could not fit in a dry van. This can include, but is not limited to the transportation of bundles, pipes, metal plates, lumber, oversized tires, and more.
Dangerous Goods
In conjunction with our barge schedule, we have the necessary insurance and experience to transport and provide logistics services for a wide range of dangerous goods.
Oversized & Specialty
We can provide logistical services for every aspect of the movement of oversize and over dimensional loads. With experience in route planning, permit acquisition, and load design and management, our operations team can create timely, economical solutions that will exceed your expectations.
Temperature Controlled Freight
Our fleet includes specially designed, temperature-controlled trucks that allow us to keep your freight at a set temperature. We utilize these trailers to transport frozen goods, cooler freight, and produce, but they can be used to transport any temperature sensitive freight.
Barging
We have marine terminals in Richmond, Port Mellon, and Powell River that provide us the ability to regularly provide barge services between the Lower Mainland and both the Sunshine Coast and Powell River. We regularly use our barge service to provide transportation of equipment, bulk barge loads, trailers, machines and more.
Fuel Delivery
We have trucks on both the Sunshine Coast and Powell River that have fluid transfer pump systems that allow us to provide specialized fuel or oil deliveries. We regularly provide transportation and delivery of fuel to all the stations on the Sunshine coast and Powell River.
Marine Terminal Services & Storage
Our marine terminals in Richmond, Port Melon, and Powell River allow us to offer the use of our barge ramp, the area required for landing barges, and provide area for storage.

While we service the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast, and Powell River, we are happy to provide complete logistics services beyond our regular service areas. Please reach out if you have any questions about what we can assist you with.
