What Commercial Logistics does

Commercial Logistics Inc. is an asset-based trucking company headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, that provides less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) freight transportation throughout British Columbia and Northern Alberta. The company operates two complementary divisions: an FTL Truckload Division running a fleet of tri-axle vans based in Richmond, Kamloops, and Kelowna, and an LTL Direct Delivery Division that serves retail customers from a network of terminals using warehouse-to-retail fixed-schedule deliveries with company and owner-operator vehicles. All delivery equipment is fitted with 5000 lb hydraulic lift gates enabling ground-level retail delivery, GPS tracking is provided on all loads, and the company holds Canada Customs Bonded Carrier status supporting international freight handling. Optional heated transport is offered on all lanes for temperature-sensitive cargo.

The company generates revenue on a transaction-fee basis across FTL truckload, LTL direct delivery, freight management, and third-party logistics arrangements, with supplemental professional-services revenue from customized freight coordination. Pricing is quote-based and varies by weight, distance, commodity, and service level. Distribution is entirely direct — via the company's own asset-based fleet and dedicated facilities (Richmond headquarters, Kamloops cross-dock at the Trans-Canada/Coquihalla/Yellowhead junction, and a 40,000 sq. ft. Kelowna facility in the Okanagan Valley) — with marketing concentrated on its own website and direct phone/email contact. The company services beverage alcohol (particularly BC wine), food, pulp and paper, recycled materials, and general cargo clients, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of ContainerWorld Forwarding Services Inc., which itself is a subsidiary of TSX-listed Mullen Group Ltd. There is no public revenue figure, no disclosed headcount trend, and no evidence of AI/ML capability beyond GPS telematics.
