Transportation group constructing new West Coast terminal

SURREY, B.C. — The Day and Ross General Freight division of the Day and Ross Transportation Group has begun construction on a $15 million transportation terminal in Surrey, B.C.

The new facility is expected to be complete in November and will replace the existing Day and Ross General Freight location in Vancouver.

Our Day and Ross operations in British Columbia continue to grow, said Andy Hunt, president of the freight division. The new terminal in Surrey will enable us to continue to provide efficient service to our customers, and will provide us with the necessary space to meet future business requirements.

The new terminal will be located on a 7.5-acre site and consist of 6,000 sq.-ft. of office space, as well as a 30,250 sq.-ft. dock with 56 doors. Approximately 60 employees and owner/operators will be based at the terminal.
