BC → Washington Freight Carrier

Daily Vancouver → Seattle/Tacoma Dry Van Trucking

The Most Reliable BC → WA Cross-Border Carrier Running the I-5 Corridor Daily


Shippers on the BC → WA lane have one problem:Most carriers don’t run this lane consistently.

Logistics Road does.

We dispatch daily trucks from Vancouver, Surrey, Delta, and Abbotsford into Seattle, Tacoma, Kent, Auburn, Everett, and Spokane, using new 2024–2025 dry vans built for cross-border freight.

This lane is our backbone.This corridor is our expertise.This is where we outperform the competition.

You’re not dealing with a dispatcher learning as he goes.You’re dealing with a carrier who lives this lane every single day.

Why the BC → WA Route Is a Strategic Freight Corridor

The Vancouver → Seattle/Tacoma lane is one of the highest-volume cross-border trade routes for:

  • Lumber & engineered wood

  • Retail & ecommerce replenishments

  • Food & beverage

  • Automotive parts

  • Industrial plastics & components

  • Electronics

  • Pharmaceuticals

  • Packaging

  • Produce & perishables (non-temp)

This lane connects two major ports:Port of Vancouver → Ports of Seattle & Tacoma.

It’s a corridor of:

  • factories

  • distributors

  • fulfillment centers

  • construction suppliers

  • importers

  • exporters

We operate in the center of that triangle.

Our Cross-Border Expertise (The Real Deal)

Crossing the US–Canada border isn’t “just crossing.”It’s compliance, timing, documentation, and avoiding expensive mistakes.

Most carriers lose time at the border because they don’t understand:

  • ACE (USA entry)

  • ACI (Canada entry)

  • PAPS

  • PARS

  • In-bond moves

  • FDA/CFIA holds

  • Port of Entry scheduling

  • Manifest timing windows

  • SCAC & bond compliance

We handle it all in-house.No third-party mistakes.No waiting.No rejections.

What We Guarantee

  • ACE/ACI filed before the driver arrives

  • PARS/PAPS fully verified

  • Driver has all documents digitally

  • Border clearance confirmation sent to you

  • No “surprise” delays

  • No rejected paperwork

  • No stuck trucks

This is why we run the fastest BC → WA transit times in our weight class.

BC → WA Transit Times (Actual, Not Generic)

Vancouver → Seattle:

8–10 hours

Vancouver → Tacoma:

10–12 hours

Surrey → Kent/Auburn:

Same-day or overnight

Vancouver Island → WA:

Same-day, including ferry loading/unloading.

We also know the real choke points:

  • Peace Arch congestion → fixed with timing windows

  • Pacific Highway delays → mitigated by arriving in off-peak

  • Port of Seattle/Tacoma appointment delays → we pre-book

This is why we consistently hit 97% on-time performance.
