Our History
The company originally started in 1952 as Chilliwack Delivery and Bottle Depot. A one cube van operation with a drape for a back door and a depot for cashing in empty beer and pop bottles. The van was not used for furniture but for parcels and letters. This hillbilly non-van line operation was owned and operated by Huey and George.
In 1976, Len Finney, Graham Reaugh, Rod and Fern Upton, Al Funk and Eugene Ward purchased the agency. They opened it as North American Vanline Agency called Chilliwack Delivery Moving and Storage.
In 1979-1980 Len Finney and Graham Reaugh opened Bowes Moving (Mayflower) and Morrow's Moving. While Rod Upton, Al Funk and Eugene Ward continued to run Chilliwack Delivery as North American Van Lines until 1986 when they changed their affiliation to UVL.
In 1991 the Uptons sold to Alan Bustin who, at the time, had ties to Graebal Vanlines. Al expanded his thriving road-building company to now included furniture moving and storage.
In the time Al has taken over, the operation has steadily grown and become a force in the Fraser Valley. Al had also taken Vallis Moving (Swedish for valley) in Abbotsford, moved the business to Wheel Avenue into a brand new building in 1998. This complex is very progressive, boasting individual mini-storage unit and full government approved storage facility.
