What you get on every load

Asset-backed, food only, with operational excellence and high communication on every load.

  • We own trucks

    Our reefer fleet runs alongside a vetted carrier network, so your Yakima freight has a backup.

  • A real person on every load

    A dedicated account manager, check calls on every load and a live person nights and weekends.

  • We haul food, nothing else

    Temperature-controlled food is the whole business, and our team is FDA food safety trained.

  • Updates on your cadence

    Updates as often as you want them, plus end-of-day case counts the day it ships.

  • Every carrier is vetted

    A 7-point check on identity, safety record and fraud before any carrier touches your load.

  • We consolidate in Wapato

    Buying from multiple vendors? We combine them into one load, so you pay for one truck. How consolidation works.

Yakima Valley reefer freight FAQ

When is Yakima Valley shipping season?

All year. Our network loads here every month. October through December is the busiest stretch, and May is the lightest month.

What happens if a truck falls through on my Yakima load?

We cover it. Between our own reefer fleet and a vetted carrier network, we have more than one way to recover the load, and you hear about it from us first, not your receiver.

How long do East Coast runs take from Yakima?

About five days to Connecticut and Maryland. Snow on Snoqualmie Pass can add a day in winter, so we watch the pass and tell you early if a delivery will move.

When should I book cherry trucks?

Before harvest starts. Cherry trucks need to roll the week harvest begins, so we line up that capacity in May.

How will I know what's on the truck?

We send end-of-day case counts, so you know how much product is headed your way the same day it loads.

Do you offer produce consolidation?

Yes. If you buy from multiple vendors in the Yakima Valley, we pick up from each one and consolidate it in Wapato into a single load. You pay for one truck instead of several and receive one delivery.

What are your most common lanes out of the Yakima Valley?

Our most common Yakima lanes deliver to Los Angeles, CA; Richmond, CA; Cheshire, CT; Hyattsville, MD; Chicago, IL; and Austin, TX. We cover other destinations too, so send us your lane and we'll quote it.
