Delivery to Houston
Bulkley Valley industrial freight, delivered to yards and sites rather than tidy loading docks.
Freight to Houston
What the run looks like here
Houston is an industrial town in an industrial valley, and the freight reflects that. Most of what we bring in is going to a mill, a mine-related operation, a contractor's yard, or the businesses that supply them. It is heavier than average, it is often urgent because something is down and waiting for it, and it very frequently has to be set down somewhere that has no dock and no forklift standing by.
That last part is the practical reason shippers use us for this stop. A power tailgate on every truck means freight comes down at ground level wherever the receiver actually is — a gravel yard, the side of a shop, a site access road. Houston sits between Burns Lake and Smithers on the run, so it is served on the same morning pass rather than being treated as a detour.

Typical loads
What we carry into Houston
Mill and industrial supply
Parts, consumables and shop stock for operations where downtime is measured in dollars per hour.
Mine and site materials
Freight bound for operations south and west of town, staged in Houston or delivered to the access road.
Heavy and awkward pieces
Single items too heavy to hand-bomb off a deck, which is what the tailgate is for.
Contractor and trade supply
Materials and tooling for crews working across the Bulkley Valley.
Houston questions
Asked and answered
Can you deliver to a work site outside Houston rather than an address in town?
Usually yes, as long as the access road takes a straight truck. Tell us at booking where the turn-off is and what the surface is like, and we will confirm before the truck rolls rather than after it gets stuck.
Do you go through Smithers and Telkwa?
Yes. Smithers is a scheduled stop 65 km on from Houston, and Telkwa sits between the two, so both are served on the same pass. Freight for any of the three rides the same truck.
How heavy a single piece can you handle?
The tailgate does the lifting, so the limit is what fits on it safely rather than what a person can carry. Give us the weight and dimensions and we will tell you straight away whether it works or whether you need a truck with a crane.
