Overview

New Sound Transportation offers nationwide temperature-controlled freight services and warehousing capabilities.

 
Starting with just one computer in a spare bedroom in Lakewood, WA, New Sound Transportation has grown exponentially over the past few decades. The goal has always been to stand out by providing the best and being the provider that handles what others can't.

Over the years, New Sound Transportation has overcome well-known hurdles such as the Great Recession, Covid, and other storms.

It has also weathered changes with industry shifts, technology advancements, fuel prices, inflation, and more.

These challenges have further cemented our vision of being the best possible option in our industry.

From our humble beginnings we've since grown to operate multiple warehouses, a large modern fleet of trucks and refrigerated trailers, our own state-of-the-art chilled and frozen storage, in-house truck and trailer repair shop, diverse brokerage group, trailer dealership, certified CDL school, and more.

New Sound Transportation is the one-stop shop solution for those we've partnered with. From obtaining a CDL to storing sensitive product to achieving last mile delivery reliably all across the nation, we're the answer to your logistical needs.

Join us as we continue to grow, improve, and elevate within our industry. Call New Sound Transportation today.

“Have been coming here for the past two years, they have a shop on site for minor and major repairs. Great warehouse workers always willing to help and get you in and out quickly. We had a reefer broke down once and we were able to store the product for a few hours in the cold storage while shop did repairs. It was a one stop shop experience.”
