LFL Chambers
In 1990 DCT Chambers acquired Langley Freight Lines (LFL). At the time, the acquisition met trucking regulatory requirements for hauling non-forest product back hauls, lowering customers’ freight rates and improving timely service.

Reloads
- LFL operates two intermodal sites; one at Oroville, WA and the other at the Abbotsford/Sumas border. The sites handle liquid and pneumatic bulk transfers from rail cars and construction and specialized materials, including pipe, coil, and steel. Both sites have direct access to Canadian and US rail lines.
- LFL operates an active 10 acre truck reload site also in Abbostford, BC adjacent to the Sumas WA border. Steel and pipe products are transferred from US carriers with lesser load standards and combined for hauling longer distances at higher Canadian load standards, often destined for Northern BC and Alberta.
