You've got it. We Ship it.

City Transfer has been a family business providing freight transportation for over 75 years, with its founding roots in 1945 and ownership in its third generation.  When you do business with City Transfer, you‘re working with family.  

City Transfer operates three marine terminals and offices in Powell River, Gibsons, and Richmond, supporting freight movement across British Columbia’s coastal communities. With over 50 employees, 30 trucks on the road daily, and a mix of company drivers and independent contractors, we move freight reliably, efficiently, and on schedule.

Our fleet includes more than 65 pieces of equipment, ranging from dry van trailers in multiple sizes to temperature-controlled units, flat decks, and chassis. We provide regular barge service between Richmond and Powell River, as well as Richmond and the Sunshine Coast, connecting regions that demand experience and coordination to get freight where it needs to go.

Over the years, City Transfer has grown into a professional, performance-driven transportation company built on accountability and customer service. Simply put: you’ve got freight, we ship it. And we take our role seriously, whether you’re a business moving critical cargo or a customer relying on us to get it there right.
