  • Day of Mourning BC Set For April 28

    Across Canada, April 28 has been designated the Day of Mourning. It’s a time when workers, families, employers, and others come together and remember those who have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational diseases.

    When unsafe working conditions are ignored or safe practices are minimized, people can get hurt, get sick, or tragically, they can die.

    Day of Mourning is a day to reflect and honour the memory of those who lost their lives on the job, as well as an opportunity to talk to each other and renew our commitment to workplace safety.

  • Premium Truck & Trailer Inc. A Diverse History In BC

    Premium Truck & Trailer Inc., headquartered in Prince George B.C. has a long and diverse history in the truck and trailer repair business in Central BC. Premium Truck & Trailer started life back in 1967 in Prince George as Inland Diesel Ltd., a small truck repair shop specializing in diesel engine repairs. For over 50 years, the company has provided customers with an unparalleled level of customer service and continues to do so today.

    The business experienced steady growth during the 1970s and soon found that it had outgrown its original facility on Nicholson St. A new purpose built 15,000 sq. ft. building was constructed on Robertson Road in Prince George, and the business moved to this new facility in late 1979.

    By the early 1980s, Inland Diesel had grown to be one of the largest independent Cummins dealers in North America, serving customers from all parts of B.C. The 1980s saw many changes within the business, but none bigger than the acquisition of the Freightliner Truck franchise for central B.C. in 1986. This changed the whole landscape of the business, transitioning it from a Cummins engine repair shop to a full service Freightliner dealer selling and servicing the complete line of Freightliner trucks line as well as the three major engines offered in Freightliner Trucks. The late 1980s and 1990s saw several changes in the company’s shareholders and by 2004 the ownership of the company was split evenly between Tom Coffey and Glenn Latimer who are the current owners today.
