Overview
Cooler Logistics is a Chicago-based freight brokerage founded in 2023, specializing in perishable and temperature-controlled freight. The company holds active FMCSA broker authority and is a member of the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA), the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association (IDBA), and the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA). Cooler Logistics is also SmartWay certified.
The company arranges refrigerated and dry truckload, flatbed, drayage, hazmat, LTL and partial shipments, drop trailer, and power only services. Its core focus is on cold chain logistics for perishable products, though its team has experience across multiple freight types and modes. Cooler Logistics builds its carrier network through direct relationships rather than load boards, working with vetted carriers to handle sensitive and high-value refrigerated freight.
Shippers commonly use Cooler Logistics for temperature-controlled truckload shipments of food, beverage, and other perishable goods. The company also handles dry freight, flatbed moves, hazmat shipments, and drayage. Its niche in cold chain logistics makes it a fit for food manufacturers, distributors, wine and beverage companies, and other businesses that need reliable refrigerated transportation.
