Over-the-Road Trucking Across Canada and the USA
Move freight with a transportation plan built around your shipment, schedule and delivery requirements. JKN Logistics coordinates over-the-road trucking for businesses shipping within British Columbia, across Canada and on suitable cross-border routes into the United States.
From a single shipment to recurring freight movements, our team helps coordinate the right equipment, route and service level for your cargo.
OTR trucking solutions for different loads
Every shipment has different requirements. Share your origin, destination, freight dimensions and delivery window so we can help determine a suitable transportation option.
Full Truckload (FTL)
For shipments that need the capacity of a dedicated trailer, FTL can help reduce extra handling and support direct movement between pickup and delivery points.
Less Than Truckload (LTL)
For smaller freight shipments that do not require a full trailer, LTL can provide a practical option based on shipment size, handling needs and transit requirements.
Dedicated Ground
For regular or planned freight movements, dedicated transportation can help businesses coordinate recurring capacity and delivery schedules.
Temperature-Controlled Freight
For goods that require controlled conditions, refrigerated transportation may be arranged according to product requirements, equipment availability and route.
Flatbed and Specialized Loads
Flatbed and specialized equipment options can be considered for freight that requires particular loading dimensions or handling arrangements. Oversized loads require assessment in advance.
Cross-Border Freight
For eligible shipments between Canada and the United States, planning includes route details, shipment documentation and applicable border requirements.
Freight routes across Western Canada and beyond
JKN Logistics supports transportation planning for shipments within British Columbia, including the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, as well as routes connecting BC with Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Cross-border options depend on the shipment, destination and operational availability.
Tell us where the freight is collected and delivered, whether pickup or delivery appointments are required, and if the shipment needs special equipment. We can then review the available service options.
