Service with Significant Environmental Footprint
United States
Founded in Portland, Oregon in April of 2009, B-Line specializes in sustainable delivery services to the urban core. Utilizing a fleet of commercial grade "trike trucks" with a 600-pound cargo carrying capacity, B-Line partners with businesses large and small to handle their downtown and close-in delivery needs and solve the challenges conventional trucks and vans face in the "last mile" of a distribution network. B-line's services model the kind of change necessary to create sustainable distribution networks and supply chains, and illustrate the kind of paradigm shift essential to meeting the climate action goals our planet demands. • As a transportation company, B-Line’s vision is to redefine how goods and services are transported in our increasingly urban environment by simply providing the right tool for the job. • As an advertising and promotions company, B-Line seeks to combine flexibility with ingenuity. • As a stakeholder in our community, B-Line is passionate about creating a company that is part of a solution and a partner in living. We seek to enrich the fabric of our cities by reducing congestion and CO2 emissions, developing local, green-collar jobs, and partnering with local manufacturers and small businesses.
