OTR Logistics Solutions is a Canadian freight broker specializing in full truckload (FTL) refrigerated produce freight across Canada and the US. We move fresh produce for growers, packers, and distributors in 53-foot reefer trailers — coordinating tight pickup windows, temperature monitoring, and delivery appointments to preserve product integrity from farm to destination.

Canada imports over $4.5 billion worth of fresh fruits and vegetables from the United States annually (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada), with the vast majority transported by refrigerated truck. Maintaining cold chain integrity throughout transit directly determines shelf life and product value at destination.

The Stakes

Produce Logistics Leaves No Room for Error

Spoilage begins the moment the cold chain breaks. Tight pickup windows, proper pre-cooling, continuous temperature monitoring, and compliance with CFIA and FDA requirements are non-negotiable. OTR Logistics Solutions provides the carrier network, oversight, and communication your produce supply chain depends on.
