About Us

Our Story

Nortrans was founded in 1992 with a single delivery van and a simple mission: to work hard and provide an honest, reliable transportation service for businesses across the Okanagan Valley. We operate in this same spirit today, staying true to our roots and the customers and community that grow alongside us. ​

Through a commitment to integrity and building long-term partnerships, Nortrans has built a genuine culture and a loyal customer base spanning forestry, building supplies, e-commerce, and heavy-industrial. With terminals in Kelowna and Chilliwack BC, our footprint covers all of Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, while our third-party logistics division serves all of Canada and the continental United States. Today we operate the largest fleet of china top curtain side and roll tite trailers in Western Canada, as well as flat deck, 3PL, and mid/final mile divisions. ​

We’re proud of our story and are excited for what’s next. With a focus on driver wellbeing, sustainability, and growth into diverse business areas, we’re committed to leading the transportation and logistics industry into a new era while providing the same trusted service we’ve put our name behind since the beginning.

Community

Community at Nortrans is more than just a single group or place. Our community is made up of our partners and the places where we work together.

Although we are lucky enough to call British Columbia home, our community continues to expand each day. As we grow, we are dedicated to being an active voice in our industry, a charitable partner, and a steward to the spaces we occupy.

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.​
