LTL Consolidation

Most Canadian food manufacturers don’t have the scale to ship a high percentage of their product as full loads.

Canadian food manufacturers are losing what economies of scale they did have to their customer’s pick-up programs, further eroding their ability to manage transportation economically.

One of our core competencies, separating us from other refrigerated transportation service providers in Canada, are our LTL consolidation programs.

Consolidating a portion of your LTL orders into multi-stop TL is not rocket science.

Consolidating a higher percentage of your LTL orders into multi-stop TL can be more challenging.

Consolidating all your LTL orders into multi-stop TL using both 40 and 53 ft refrigerated containers, while maintaining a traceable cold chain from origin to final destination and optimizing your cost per kg at the load level while minimizing non-compliance fines and hitting best in class on-time delivery metrics… this is where the science comes into play.

We drive out cost through innovation.

We are running refrigerated freight cost optimization programs for many of the country’s largest CPG food manufacturers.
