Most perishable brands rely on expensive express shipping to protect product quality. ColdTrack’s temperature-controlled line haul fulfillment and cold chain shipping solutions strategically reposition inventory closer to your consumers before final-mile injection, allowing more shipments to travel by dependable ground service while still arriving on-time and at-temperature. It’s one of the most effective cold chain solutions available to perishable eCommerce brands looking to cut fulfillment costs without compromising temperature integrity.
Achieve increased on-time delivery and unlock cost savings with our fully-managed zone skipping temperature-controlled line haul solutions.
Cold Chain Line Hauls, Managed End-to-End
ColdTrack designs, manages, and continuously optimizes middle-mile transportation as a dedicated cold chain 3pl, helping perishable brands reduce shipping costs, improve delivery performance, and eliminate unnecessary time spent in parcel carrier networks. It’s what separates purpose-built cold chain solutions from standard freight management.

Analyze
Every engagement begins with data. Using ColdTrack Live, we evaluate your shipment history, consumer locations, carrier performance, and order density to create your shipping profile and identify where line haul opportunities will generate the greatest operational and financial impact for you.
Build The Route
Based on your shipping profile, we design dedicated or shared line haul lanes that position your inventory closer to your consumers.
Zone Skip
Instead of sending every parcel individually through multiple carrier hubs – a costly process that adds transit time and will test the coolant in your shipments, we consolidate shipments with similar destinations so they travel together before being injected directly into destination carrier facilities, reducing handling and transit time.
Ground Delivery
Packages enter the carrier networks much closer to your consumers, allowing shipments that previously required costly overnight services to arrive using dependable and cost-effective ground transportation.

Packages are inserted directly into local carrier hubs for next day delivery, increasing OTD rates and minimizing out-of-temp transit to less than 24 hours.
What Your Brand Gains From Temperature-Controlled Zone Skipping
Zone skipping isn’t simply another transportation strategy – it fundamentally changes the economics of your perishable shipping, and as a 3pl dedicated to cold chain fulfilment, ColdTrack has the infrastructure and carrier relationships to make it work for you. The result is one of the most impactful cold chain solutions available to brands using temperature-sensitive fulfillment services.
Lower Shipping Costs
Many brands rely on overnight shipping because it’s perceived as the safest option. But by zone-skipping and reducing the parcel transit distance on final mile carriers, ColdTrack helps you convert eligible overnight shipments into lower-cost ground deliveries without sacrificing product integrity. Depending on lane and package profile, savings can reach up to $20 per shipment.
Improved Delivery Reliability
Every carrier handoff introduces risk, but our strategy routes via fewer distribution hubs, fewer scans, and has shorter parcel transit times, translating into fewer touchpoints yet scoring higher on-time delivery performance.
Better Customer Experience
Consumers don’t judge the quality of your logistics partner – they judge your brand. Delivering products fresh or frozen, as expected, and exactly when expected protects customer satisfaction, strengthens loyalty to your brand, and encourages repeat purchases.
Simplified Growth
As your order volumes increase, your transportation strategy should evolve with you. ColdTrack helps brands like yours expand nationally without immediately adding additional fulfillment locations, creating a scalable path from regional shipping to nationwide coverage.
Carrier Network
Enterprise Carrier Rates. Intelligent Routing. Complete Shipment Visibility.
Negotiated carrier pricing is only part of the equation.
ColdTrack combines enterprise shipping rates with ColdTrack Live’s optimization engine to determine the best carrier, service level, packaging configuration, coolant levels, and, if appropriate, the best injection point for every shipment. As a part of a complete suite of cold chain solutions, ColdTrack Live helps enable better reefer tracking and cold chain shipment visibility across every carrier from a single platform.
Rather than simply buying transportation, you’re continuously optimizing it.

Built for Perisahble eCommerce. Not Retrofitted for it.
Many cold storage providers have added direct-to-consumer fulfillment recently because their customers requested it.
But ColdTrack was built around the unique demands of perishable eCommerce.
For more than a decade, we’ve focused exclusively on helping temperature-sensitive brands optimize fulfillment, transportation, and consumer delivery as a dedicated cold chain 3pl. Every workflow – from packaging recommendations and cartonization logic to carrier selection, inventory positioning, and exception management – has been designed specifically for refrigerated and frozen products. That’s what genuine cold chain solutions look like when they’re built from the ground up rather than retrofitted from general warehousing services.
That’s why brands trust ColdTrack to move products on-time and at-temperature, every day.
