Behind the reliability and precision of Lower Mainland Fast Freight (LMFF) is a founding story built on heart, hustle, and a commitment to the BC business community.
Lower Mainland Fast Freight started with a singular vision: to elevate the logistics industry by placing customer relationships at the center of every route. Founders Ernie Hawthorne and Krista Hawthorne saw an opportunity to transform the local freight landscape. They believed that in an industry driven by speed, there was still room for the personal touch, transparency, and a commitment to service that sets new standards.
Ernie and Krista leveraged their combined decades of expertise in logistics technology, operations, and regional customer service to establish LMFF as a leader in the Fraser Valley. Their goal was ambitious: to reimagine logistics by offering tailored solutions that evolve with their clients’ needs.
From day one, the Hawthornes focused on building a company culture centered on:
Flexibility: Adapting to the unique challenges of Lower Mainland traffic and terrain.
Precision: Ensuring every shipment is tracked and delivered with zero compromise on accuracy.
Transparency: Building long-term partnerships through honest pricing and open communication.
Today, LMFF is a testament to that original 1984 dream. Ernie and Krista remain hands-on in the company’s daily operations, continually adapting to new industry trends and cutting-edge logistics technology to ensure their clients stay a step ahead.
By keeping customer demands at the forefront, the Hawthornes have built LMFF into a trusted partner that empowers local businesses, streamlines complex supply chains, and redefines excellence in the BC transportation industry.
