History
The New Overland West Freight Lines is the exciting alignment of two leading regional expedited “less than truck load” carriers into one. Overland Freight Lines and West Arm Truck Lines have synergized their individual qualities and experience to become British Columbia’s premier expedite service provider. Overland West Freight Lines is now the first choice for Western Canadians looking for quality LTL transportation service solutions.

Coverage in Western Canada
Overland West is one of the largest LTL carriers in Western Canada and operates 16 strategically-placed service centres across British Columbia and Alberta. When it comes to connecting the west, we’re the best. Our drivers are experts at hauling over the Kootenay Pass, along the Sea to Sky corridor, and through the winding alpine roads of Northern BC.

We have more direct service points, operated by our company, than any other carrier. If you’re shipping in our territory, an Overland West driver will transport your freight at every leg of the journey.
Overland West’s extensive network allows you to ship directly to remote areas. We can consolidate freight arriving from any point and deliver to mines, construction sites and forestry sites daily.

Types of Equipment
With a large pickup and delivery fleet, we offer freight service from LTL to TL, tailgate deliveries to flat decks. Even specialized equipment such as container chassis, curtain side trailers and B trains are within our scope of service.

We have an environmentally-responsible culture. None of our power equipment is more than five years old. It meets or exceeds all government standards and features the latest technology.

Customer Goods and Retail
When you ship with Overland West, you can count on us to deliver at agreed-upon times – not agreed-upon days. Our experienced shipping professionals will work with you to design a logistical concept and map out dependable delivery dates and times.

Whether you need to move a skid or hundreds, we will work with you to design a comprehensive service and rate package that effectively supports your business and schedule.

National
We are the independent carrier’s carrier. When national carriers deliver to major city centres in the west, they choose us to take care of the rest. We have a large pickup and delivery fleet in the region. We can handle any in-bound or out-bound shipments through connecting points in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, and then distribute to smaller cities across Alberta and BC.

We also have access to worldwide transportation networks. For our customers, that means one call to Overland West can get your freight from a warehouse in Ontario to remote locations in BC.
