Logistics and transport
Freight is big business here: an international trucking corridor, a rail port and low-cost industrial land.
- 330,000+ freight trucks a year, just under 1,000 a day
- 15 trucking firms
- 5 major transportation terminals
- 100,000 people in the immediate market, and 4.5 million in neighbouring Alberta
Why here
- On a major international and interprovincial route, and a common stop for long-haul trucks
- One of the few places in BC with an international railway port, which shortens transit for US-bound cargo
- Land zoned for manufacturing, and some of the lowest operating costs in BC
- The US border about an hour away
Look at the 60-acre industrial site and getting to Cranbrook.
