Nova Scotia seafood is worth too much to ride on whatever trailer happens to be empty in the Maritimes that day. Cargo County runs scheduled refrigerated capacity from Halifax, the South Shore and across Nova Scotia into Toronto, Ontario and Quebec markets, purpose-built for the seafood trade: deep-frozen set points held without drift, fresh product moved on schedule, and seasonal surge capacity you can book before the season starts.
Frozen lobster, snow crab, scallops, groundfish and value-added products ride at deep-frozen set points with real-time monitoring and temperature records available for your receivers. Our equipment is dedicated refrigerated: this fleet hauls food, and nothing else, so there is never a question about what was in the trailer before your product.
When lobster and snow crab seasons peak, reefer capacity out of the Maritimes evaporates and spot rates go vertical. Because we run two-way Ontario-Maritimes freight year-round, we have equipment positioned in the region every week, and we reserve season capacity for committed seafood shippers. Talk to us before the season, not during it.
Not every buyer takes a full trailer. Our reefer LTL consolidations move partial seafood shipments from Nova Scotia to Ontario wholesalers, distributors and retail DCs at pallet rates, via our Moncton cross-dock and on to the GTA.
We pick up at processing plants, cold storages and the Port of Halifax across Nova Scotia, with our Moncton hub available for staging and consolidation. One carrier from wharf to Toronto receiver.
