Not just talking green—they’re doing it
Take exit 137 off i5, go North to 12th St. E., T/R and T/R into the first driveway, stay to the right and go to the back of the building, park before the dock doors start and go check in at S&R through the man door left of the ramp. Nice people to deal with in the office and at the dock. I'd pick up here again without hesitation. Thanks, Lynden Transport!
Super fast, nice people. Got there after hrs, driver doing relay let me in. Bumped dock at 2am they unloaded me early was out by 6:15am. 1hr and 15 mins before they was supposed to get there.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️They are super friendly and super fast wish every shipper and receiver, was this good!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fast Friendly Service 5 Stars
Good People! Fast Unloading
Got in there, went to shipping office, took a seat in a few minutes i was told to move forward, unloading went quick. Got my paperwork signed and. Was out of there. Lees than an hour there not bad at all.
Highly Recommended!!! Lynden Transport was able to help me ship my can am defender side by side from Washington to Alaska. MR. Stansbury at the Fairbanks Alaska location made the transaction easy and convenient. Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately another place that is union and an unloader who clings to the safety of a union. A union should instill work ethic and a fair standard. Not a hiding place for bad performance.
They got me in and unloaded me with not more then an hour and a half before they actually started. Could have been worse.
Very courteous and unloaded quickly. Not much room for backing up built for day cab trucks. No overnight parking.
I'm an LTL driver and get unloaded really quick. Some places I've had to wait hrs for a dock.
Was a great company to work for and really cared for their employees...not any more just hurry hurry!

Great place to work. Loved it, should have stayed on longer but took early retirement at age 55. Highly recommend.
Very friendly and nice peoples here
Easy for truck drivers
A great workplace overall! However, maintaining a strictly professional relationship with your boss is important, as personal connections can sometimes complicate things. Keeping work separate from your personal life is the best approach for long-term success.
There’s a lot of gossip and drama, but if you steer clear, it’s manageable. The pay is decent, but the way they handle overtime is unfair—you end up losing a lot of extra earnings. If necessary, I would work here again.
A positive work environment that I would recommend. Management is relaxed and understanding, and the daily tasks are straightforward. I’ve never had any issues working here.
Employees are treated more like numbers than individuals. There’s little opportunity for advancement, as senior drivers have held top positions for decades. The best you can hope for is a middle-tier spot on the roster, but expect long hours, frequent calls on days off, and little concern for work-life balance.
One day things are great, the next they’re not. I loved working here, but I have a disability and felt like they didn’t want me. Commuting was tough, and 12-hour shifts were too demanding. I needed freight work instead of milk hauling, but my boss refused—so I decided to leave.
I’ve been with Lynden for over 20 years and appreciate the strong emphasis on safety. The team works together to maintain a secure environment, always prioritizing employee well-being. The diversity among coworkers makes this an enjoyable place to be.
Being home daily is nice, but the rotating schedule can be frustrating. The pay does not reflect the difficulty of hauling 73,000 lbs of liquid in double tanks, especially during winter.
There’s plenty of gossip and drama, but avoiding it makes things easier. The pay is decent, but overtime policies are unfair—you miss out on a lot. Despite that, I’d consider working here again if necessary.
The terminal manager is the source of many workplace issues. If they were replaced, this company would thrive, but upper management and corporate leadership are closely connected, making that unlikely.
The company operates under union control, but seniority determines scheduling—leading to no home time in the summer and financial struggles in the winter. Union representatives are ineffective and take too much money for their role.
A pleasant workplace with great people. The company treats employees with respect and fairness. I’m happy here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive employer.
I joined Lynden straight out of truck driving school and completed one year accident-free. The experience has been valuable, though I am now looking to transition away from long-haul driving.
The workplace has its share of gossip and drama, but keeping to yourself makes things manageable. The pay is good, but overtime handling is unfair—you lose out on a lot. If needed, I would work here again.
I was hired as a new driver out of school, and the company provided solid training and opportunities for growth in the industry. Management was supportive, though some improvements in organization would be beneficial.
