Trucking in British Columbia: An Illustrated History,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Trucks are everywherecrowding the highways, lining up for the ferries, roaring down dusty logging roadsand yet trucking is often left off the list when talk turns to British Columbia's major industries. It shouldn't be, as this gorgeous new illustrated history celebrating the BC Trucking Association's 100th anniversary shows. With annual revenues of $1.88 billion and 60,000 employees, trucking is among BC's five largest industries.Accompanied by hundreds of previously unpublished archival and contemporary photographs, awardwinning historian Daniel Francis delivers a fascinating account of the last hundred years of trucking in BC. Beginning in Vancouver with James Stark's first delivery van in 1907, motorized transport exploded in the province, soon traversing every dirt track, hauling logs on temporary plank roads and leading to a frenzy of experimentation and innovation from the failed Renard Road Train and early batteryoperated vehicles to some truly impressive purposebuilt trucks, many of them manufactured in BC.From hairraising tales of the road by trucking legends like the scholarly Andy Craig and the bombastic Cog Harrington to important infrastructure projects and vital innovations for the future, here is a story never told beforea road less travelled, so to speakbut an important and an exciting chapter in British Columbia's history.
