Edmonton Transportation Services — Shipping, Trucking & Logistics
Edmonton sits at the geographic and economic center of Western Canada. It is the gateway to Alberta’s energy sector, a critical node on the Trans-Canada corridor, and a growing hub for manufacturing, retail distribution, and e-commerce fulfillment. For businesses operating in and around Edmonton, reliable transportation and logistics support is not optional — it is the difference between a supply chain that works and one that does not.
Olympia Transportation has been part of the Canadian logistics landscape for over 25 years. We operate a dedicated facility at 4747 93 Ave NW in Edmonton, backed by a national fleet of 105 trucks, 400+ chassis, and 60+ dry vans. Whether you need to move freight across Alberta, distribute nationally, or manage warehousing and fulfillment from a single local partner, Olympia has the assets, the team, and the infrastructure to do it.
Edmonton Transportation & Shipping Services
As one of the established shipping companies in Edmonton, Olympia operates as a full asset-based carrier — meaning we own and control the equipment we use. That matters because it gives your business a single point of accountability rather than a broker who hands your freight off to whoever is available that day.
Our transportation services from Edmonton cover everything from single pallets to full truckloads, standard freight to oversized industrial cargo.

Our transportation services from Edmonton cover everything from single pallets to full truckloads, standard freight to oversized industrial cargo.
Full Truckload (FTL) Shipping
For businesses moving large volumes of freight, our FTL service provides dedicated trailer capacity from Edmonton to destinations across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. Your shipment moves direct — no stops, no transfers, no delays from sharing space with other freight.
Less Than Truckload (LTL) Distribution
Not every shipment fills a trailer. Olympia’s LTL service gives you access to cost-effective freight movement for smaller volumes, with the reliability of an asset-based carrier behind it. Your freight shares space in a consolidated load but receives the same tracking, care, and delivery standards as any full truckload.
Intermodal Freight
For high-volume cross-country shipments, our intermodal service combines truck and rail to optimize cost and transit time. Edmonton’s position on the CN and CP Rail networks makes it ideal for intermodal distribution to both coasts — and Olympia manages the full coordination from pickup to delivery.
Dedicated Trucking and Fleet Services
Businesses with consistent, high-frequency freight requirements benefit from a dedicated fleet arrangement. We assign specific equipment and drivers to your lanes, providing a private fleet experience without the capital cost of owning the trucks yourself.
Over-Dimensional and Flat Deck Hauling
Edmonton’s energy and construction sectors generate significant demand for oversized freight movement. Olympia handles over-dimensional loads — wide loads, heavy equipment, industrial components — with properly permitted drivers and equipment. Our flat deck fleet is available for cargo that cannot be enclosed in a standard trailer.
Cross-Border Shipping to the United States
For Alberta businesses with US customers or suppliers, Olympia manages cross-border freight between Canada and the United States. We handle the documentation, carrier coordination, and customs paperwork required for smooth border crossings — so your freight moves without the administrative headaches.
Edmonton Warehouse & 3PL Services
Our Edmonton facility at 4747 93 Ave NW is more than storage space. It functions as a fully integrated third-party logistics hub — combining inventory management, order fulfillment, cross-docking, and transportation dispatch under one roof.

Why Businesses Choose Olympia Over Other Transport Companies in Edmonton
There are many transport companies in Edmonton to choose from. What sets Olympia apart is not just the range of services we offer — it is how those services are connected and who is accountable when things need to move quickly.
We Are an Asset-Based Carrier
Most logistics brokers in Canada arrange transportation on your behalf by contracting with outside carriers. Olympia owns its fleet — 105 trucks, 400+ chassis, 60+ dry vans — which means we control the equipment, the scheduling, and the service quality. When there is a problem, we solve it. There is no subcontractor to chase.
Local Presence, National Reach
Our Edmonton facility is a local operation with direct ties to Olympia’s national network. That means a business in Edmonton can ship to Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, or the United States through a single relationship — without coordinating between regional carriers.
Flexible Terms for Every Business Size
Whether you need 500 sq ft of overflow storage for three months or a long-term integrated warehousing and distribution agreement, Olympia builds arrangements that fit your actual requirements. You are not forced into rigid contracts designed for someone else’s business.
Technology That Keeps You Informed
Olympia uses Geotab GPS tracking, Camelot TMS, Loadlink freight matching, and Tritium Tech systems to provide real-time visibility across every shipment. You can see exactly where your freight is, get proactive exception alerts, and access reporting that connects directly to your inventory systems.
25+ Years of Canadian Logistics Experience
Olympia has been operating in Canadian logistics since the late 2000s, growing from a small fleet of 5 trucks to a national operation. That depth of experience means your freight is handled by people who understand Canadian regulations, seasonal road conditions, Alberta-specific requirements, and the practical realities of moving goods efficiently in this market.
