Food & Beverage Shipping
Food and beverage freight requires strict timing, temperature control, and careful handling to protect product quality and safety. NexFr8 Brokerage supports manufacturers, distributors, warehouses, and retailers with dependable nationwide food logistics solutions.
Industrial Machinery
We ship large industrial machines used in production lines, processing facilities, and fabrication plants. These loads require securement expertise, proper equipment selection, and careful routing.
Manufacturing Equipment
Engineered lumber require careful handling due to length and load sensitivity. We coordinate appropriate trailer types and securement for long-span materials.
Plywood & OSB Panels
Sheet goods like plywood and OSB move as palletized or unitized freight and require protection from moisture and edge damage. We plan routes and equipment to minimize exposure during transit.
Treated & Specialty Lumber
Pressure-treated and specialty lumber often moves in heavier bundles and may require additional spacing or tarping. We ensure compliance with weight limits and proper load distribution.
Long-Length Lumber Loads
Oversized lumber exceeding standard trailer lengths requires open-deck equipment and experienced carriers. We manage securement, routing, and any required permits for extended loads.
Jobsite & Bulk Lumber Deliveries
Bulk lumber deliveries to active jobsites require precise scheduling and access planning. We coordinate delivery windows, site conditions, and unloading requirements to avoid delays.
What We Ship
Packaged Food Products
We ship boxed, bagged, and palletized packaged food products that require clean, secure transit and on-time delivery. Loads often move from manufacturing plants to distribution centers and retail warehouses.
Bottled Drinks
This includes bottled water, soda, energy drinks, juices, and other packaged beverages. These shipments are weight-dense and require proper load securement to prevent shifting or breakage in transit.
Refrigerated & Frozen Foods
Perishable food products such as dairy, frozen meals, meats, and produce require temperature-controlled transportation. NexFr8 coordinates reefer capacity to maintain cold-chain integrity from pickup to delivery.
Bulk Food Ingredients
We move bulk food ingredients like grains, flour, sugar, and packaged raw materials used in food production. These loads often ship in high volumes with strict cleanliness and handling requirements.
Ingredients & Syrups
This category includes concentrates, syrups, flavoring bases, and beverage additives. Shipments require secure containment and careful scheduling to support ongoing production cycles.
Retail & Distribution Center Replenishment
We support recurring shipments to grocery distribution centers, convenience store networks, and food service warehouses. These loads are often time-sensitive and tied to inventory planning.
Food & Beverage Transport Options

Used for certain bulk or non-temperature-sensitive food ingredients that require side or top loading at production facilities.
