Alternative Cartage Inc.

Our History

Embarking on a new journey in 1991, the duo, Ricky and Terry Overdiek, set out with a mission of offering an “alternative” same day delivery service to the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Once accompanied only by their faithful Siberian Husky and an original fleet of three trucks, the duo is now supported by several friendly team members, a comical Mastiff-Bull Terrier, and a dedicated fleet of vehicles ranging from couriers to crane operators.

Evolving from a paper dispatch system in the starting years, ACI now operates on a fully computerized and radio/data dispatch system to assist customers in shipments ranging from time sensitive documents and small parcels to specialized crane services and tractor trailer loads. Although much has changed in the industry since 1991, ACI is still committed to being the best ''alternative'' for prompt, professional service.
