In logistics, time is money. If you're moving frozen or fresh freight, delays can mean damaged goods, lost revenue, and upset customers. That’s why working with one reliable partner from start to finish is a game-changer.
NST is that partner.
We handle everything: trucking, cold storage, warehousing, brokerage, and more - all in-house. There are no middlemen, no third parties, and no finger-pointing when something goes wrong.
We Handle Everything – All Things Trucking
NST isn’t just a carrier. We’re not just a warehouse. And we’re not just a broker.
We do it all.
Whether you're moving frozen meat, fresh produce, or temperature-sensitive items, we’ll take care of:
- Pickup
- Cold storage
- Cross-docking
- Delivery
- Truck maintenance
- Customer communication
All of it. No outsourcing. No delays. Just results.
We Specialize in Frozen & Fresh LTL Freight Across the U.S. and Canada
NST’s bread and butter is LTL frozen and fresh freight.
That’s been our focus since the very beginning, and we’ve turned it into a science.
We run LTL loads all over the U.S. and Canada. In fact, we even have an office in Canada that handles all of our Canadian freight and compliance, because we believe nothing beats having boots on the ground
This isn’t a side hustle for us, it’s the core of what we do.
Direct Communication: No Middlemen, No Miscommunication
NST runs its own brokerage, which means we work directly with shippers.
We don’t rely on third-party brokers who pass the buck or disappear when things go sideways.
Our team communicates with you directly, schedules your freight, picks it up with our trucks, stores it in our buildings, and delivers it safely and on time.
From start to finish, it’s all NST.
That means fewer mistakes, faster answers, and real accountability.
We’re Asset-Based: Our Trucks, Our Drivers, Our Standards
A lot of brokers don’t own a single truck.
That’s not us.
NST is asset-based: we own and operate our own fleet of trucks and employ our own drivers.
That means:
- We control our schedules
- We control how freight is handled
- We control how equipment is maintained
With NST, you know who’s hauling your freight—so you know it’s done right.
Cold Storage in Fife, LA, and Chicago
We’ve got our own cold storage warehouses in:
- Fife, WA
- Los Angeles, CA
- Chicago, IL
These are strategic locations that let us store, cross-dock, and move freight quickly and securely across the entire nation.
Because they’re OUR buildings, we don’t wait around for someone else’s warehouse to make space. We get things done on our schedule—not someone else’s.
Since we control our own storage facilities, your freight never has to leave our hands until it’s safely delivered.
That’s huge.
It keeps your freight safe, it keeps the cold chain intact, and it keeps everything moving without hiccups.
We Maintain Our Own Trucks - In Our Own Repair Shop
When your load is out on the road, the last thing you want is a breakdown.
That’s why NST has its own in-house truck and trailer repair shop.
We don’t just fix trucks when they break—we maintain them constantly so they don’t break down in the first place. We perform thorough and comprehensive inspections of each truck before sending them out on loads. This means your freight is ALWAYS being hauled on well-running trucks and trailers.
The result?
- We almost never experience breakdowns on active loads.
- Our on-time percentage is one of the highest in the industry.
- Your freight stays safe, on time, and moving.
Modern Equipment, Top-Tier Fleet
NST doesn’t run old, unreliable trucks that cause problems.
We regularly upgrade our equipment to keep things fresh, modern, and efficient.
Newer trucks mean:
- Fewer breakdowns
- Better fuel efficiency
- Improved temperature control
- Higher driver satisfaction
- Better safety across the board
You won’t see beat-up 2006 models with NST.
When we pull up to your dock, you know you’re dealing with a professional team that cares about your product.
Gated, Secure Parking Lots for Peace of Mind
Your freight is valuable. It deserves to be protected.
NST operates secure, gated parking lots where freight is staged between moves. These yards are:
- Fenced and monitored
- Well-lit and clean
- Used only by NST trucks and staff
Your product isn’t sitting in an open lot or passed from one unknown carrier to the next.
It’s in NST’s care, from pickup to delivery.
