Contact Us Daily Delivery Routes and Cities Careers Northland Foods & Distribution Menu Shipping and Transportation The business of refrigerated food LTL pool consolidation is tricky stuff… with focus on food safety concerns and in-transit temperature monitoring technologies proliferating, you’ve got to keep temperatures just right, and you don’t have time to deal with customer refusals from inexperienced carriers who don’t know the nuances of this business. Northland Foods are the experts in refrigerated food transport and are proud to deliver the same food and brands that our families enjoy at dinner every night. Your products have an important destination. With scheduled LTL deliveries to the Eastern part of Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, North Dakota and Northern Michigan every day, we’ll make sure they get where they’re going — cold, clean, correct, and on time. BACK HAUL Everyone wants to save money on their freight quotes. There is no great secret behind this desire: The more money you can save on your freight shipping, the more money you can re-distribute to other aspects of your business or even, if you’re lucky, to your pocket. At Northland Foods & Distribution, we are always looking for the cracks in the shipping system, and ways to save our customers money. With that in mind, have you heard of backhaul shipping??? Northland Foods every day has space to haul your product everything from that one pallet of eggs going from Eau Claire to Ely to 4 pallet going to Marquette. Back Haul’s make this possible where the customer does not have to pay for a whole truck.
