Libra Transport (b C) Ltd, Surrey, BC

Francis Kohlman has been driving trucks since the late 1940s, but always as an owner operator leased to another company. However in 1976, he and his wife, Ollie, decided to strike out on their own. They formed Libra Transport (B.C.) Ltd. with one truck (a 1976 Kenworth), one driver(Francis), and one dispatcher(Ollie, who kept her “day” job). Libra started very slowly and carefully with their first customer being Canadian Salt in Alberta. Bit by bit we grew and acquired for operating authorities. We have worked hard to earn the confidence of our customers and operators. As a family run business Libra has made a name for itself by focusing on reliability, good operators and good equipment.
