About Us

About Nortrans

Nortrans began in 1992 with a single delivery van and a simple mission: work hard and provide honest, reliable transportation for businesses across the Okanagan Valley. Since then, we’ve grown steadily. However, we still operate with the same spirit, staying true to our roots and to the customers and communities that have grown alongside us.

Over the years, our commitment to integrity and long-term partnerships has helped us build a strong culture. As a result, we have earned a loyal customer base across forestry, building supplies, e-commerce, and heavy-industrial sectors. With terminals in Kelowna and Chilliwack, BC, our reach now extends across Western Canada and into the Pacific Northwest. In addition, our third-party logistics division supports clients throughout Canada and the continental United States.

Today, we operate the largest fleet of China Top curtain side and Roll Tite trailers in Western Canada. Alongside these, we offer flat deck, 3PL, and mid/final mile divisions, delivering flexible, full-spectrum logistics solutions.

Looking ahead, we are proud of how far we have come. At the same time, we are excited for what’s next. By continuing to focus on driver wellbeing, sustainability, and growth into new business areas, we are ready to lead the transportation and logistics industry forward. Above all, we remain committed to the trusted service we have delivered since day one.

Community

At Nortrans, community is about the people, partners, and industries we work with every day. While we’re proud to call British Columbia home, our reach spans Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. As a trusted trucking and logistics provider, we focus on building lasting relationships, supporting local causes, and operating responsibly. From freight delivery in Kelowna to 3PL services across Canada and the U.S., community is what we’re all about.

Today, we advocate for issues such as safety and compliance in the transportation and logistics industry, as well as driver wellbeing and environmental sustainability. To lead the industry forward, we volunteer and work closely with organizations such as the BC Trucking Association, Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement, Trucking HR Canada, our Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and others.

Whenever possible, we use our fleet of equipment and international network to support efforts in our community such as charitable donation pick-ups and natural disaster relief. We also continue to support organizations and causes that are close to our team, such as the Ride for Dad to fight prostate cancer, local women’s shelters, the BC SPCA, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.​
