Freight to Burns Lake
What the run looks like here
Burns Lake is small on the map and large in practice. The village sits on Highway 16, but the area it serves fans out well beyond it — south across Francois Lake to the Southside communities, north toward Babine Lake and Granisle, and out to several First Nations communities in the surrounding district. Freight arriving in Burns Lake is often not finished travelling, so getting it here on a predictable schedule matters more than it does in a town where everything is within five minutes.
Forestry drives most of what we carry into the Lakes District: parts and consumables for mill operations, supplies for logging contractors, and materials for the trades that work alongside them. The rest is the ordinary business of keeping a remote community stocked — retail freight, hardware, and the one-off shipments that people would otherwise drive three hours to Prince George to collect themselves.

Burns Lake questions
Asked and answered
Do you deliver across Francois Lake to the Southside?
That is beyond our regular Highway 16 stop and involves the ferry, so it is quoted on its own. Call with the address and we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense for us or whether you are better off collecting from Burns Lake.
How long does freight take from Prince George to Burns Lake?
Burns Lake is 230 km down the line and clears in the morning group with Vanderhoof and Houston, so freight tendered in Prince George one afternoon is delivered the next day.
Can I ship just one item, or do I need a full pallet?
One item is fine. Small shipments ride the daily line and are priced for the space they take, so you are not paying for a truck you did not fill.
