Delivery to Vanderhoof
First stop west of Prince George, and close enough that freight tendered in the afternoon is on the ground the next morning.
Freight to Vanderhoof
What the run looks like here
Vanderhoof sits an easy 97 km down Highway 16 from Prince George, in the middle of the Nechako Valley's farm country. That proximity matters: it is the shortest hop on the line, so Vanderhoof clears first thing in the morning before the truck carries on west. If you are shipping from a Prince George supplier, this is about as fast as ground freight into the region gets.
The freight profile here is different from the mill towns further west. A lot of what we drop in Vanderhoof is agricultural — equipment parts, fencing, supplies for farms and ranches spread out well beyond the town itself. Those deliveries rarely involve a loading dock, which is why the tailgate on every truck earns its keep. Vanderhoof is also the turn-off for Highway 27 up to Fort St. James, so freight for that direction often routes through here.

Vanderhoof questions
Asked and answered
How fast can freight get from Prince George to Vanderhoof?
It is the first stop on the run, so freight tendered in Prince George by the afternoon cutoff is delivered in Vanderhoof the following morning.
Can you deliver to a farm outside town with no dock or forklift?
Yes, and it is routine here. Every truck runs a power tailgate, so the load comes down to ground level in a yard or driveway. Tell us at booking if the approach is soft or narrow so we send the right size unit.
Do you carry on to Fort St. James?
It is off our regular Highway 16 run, so it is quoted case by case. Call and ask — if the timing lines up with a Vanderhoof drop it is often worth doing.
