Why Foster Cold Storage
ASSET-BASED LOGISTICS
We ensure a strong start, consistently exceeding 99.5% fill rates with over 5 million refrigerated/frozen/temperature-controlled cases delivered on time last year.
Regional Powerhouse Fleet:
Our asset-based 3PL and freight forwarding provide
nationwide inbound coverage from growers, producers,
and regional port drayage to kickstart the chain.
Cost-Optimized Multimodal Solutions & Control:
We bridge the gap with a temperature-controlled fleet
(36’/48’/53’) utilizing FTL/LTL and Samsara-powered real-time visibility—providing GPS breadcrumb trails, geofencing, and total environmental control to optimize both spend and safety.
STRATEGIC STORAGE & CAPACITY
A high-volume distribution center handling nearly 1.5M
cases annually reduced shrink from 1.65% to just 0.22% after implementing our one-roof approach—driving measurable improvements in freshness, efficiency, and profitability.
Massive Immediate Capacity:
Solve capacity constraints instantly with over 20,000 pallet
positions for short- or long-term storage available now.
Precision Environments & Atmospheric Control:
Once received, products are housed across 10 precise temperature zones in SQF and USDA certified facilities. Our facilities utilize advanced ionization and air-scrubbing systems to ensure maximum product longevity.
INTEGRATED SERVICES
Our Warehouse Management System (WMS) customers often experience 100% inventory accuracy, ensuring your stock levels are always precise and reliable.
Operational Simplicity:
We adapt to your unique vision with a “one-roof” service
offering—including pallet in/out, case picking, kitting,
automated repacking, and cross-docking—engineered to
eliminate friction and maximize speed-to-market.
Innovative Product Optimization:
We offer state-of-the-art ripening rooms commissioned
specifically for premium programs to ensure peak perfection, supported by a specialized commercial kitchen and custom ripening protocols tailored to your unique product needs.
FINAL DELIVERY
We provide the peace of mind that comes from 125 years of being the most human and dependable link in the supply chain.
Custom Distribution & DSD Programs:
We specialize in high-touch execution for Foodservice,
Retail DCs, and Direct Store Delivery (DSD) programs.
Whether it’s a global chain or a regional provider, we tailor
our delivery frequency and handling to fit your specific
operational requirements.
Regional Power & National Reach:
With a fleet of over 150 assets, we provide total coverage—from refrigerated box trucks for nimble regional orders to heavy-duty CDL-A assets for national distribution. Every vehicle is powered by Samsara, ensuring “Track My Truck” GPS visibility, geofencing, and real-time environmental monitoring.
