Smithers, BC · 373 km from Prince George
Delivery to Smithers
The Bulkley Valley's service town, and the busiest stop between Prince George and Terrace.
Freight to Smithers
What the run looks like here
Smithers is the commercial centre of the Bulkley Valley — the town the surrounding communities drive to for retail, trades supply, medical appointments and the regional airport. That makes the freight profile broader than anywhere else on the middle of the line. On the same load there might be shop stock for a main-street retailer, materials for a contractor, and an urgent parts order somebody would otherwise have driven four hours to Prince George to collect.
It sits 65 km on from Houston and just over 200 km short of Terrace, which puts it at the far end of the morning delivery group. Telkwa, a few minutes back down the highway, is served on the same pass. Because Smithers draws freight for a wide catchment, a lot of what we drop here is collected by people coming in from further out — so arriving on a predictable schedule matters more than shaving an hour off the transit time.

Smithers questions
Asked and answered
When does freight arrive in Smithers?
Smithers is the last of the morning stops, after Vanderhoof, Burns Lake and Houston. Freight tendered in Prince George one afternoon is delivered the next day.
Do you deliver to Telkwa as well?
Yes, on the same pass. Telkwa is a few minutes back down Highway 16 from Smithers, so it costs no detour and is not priced as one.
Can you take freight the other way, Smithers to Prince George?
We run both directions, so eastbound freight out of Smithers is straightforward. Book it the same way and mention that it is heading east.
