“Here at JB Hunt we strive to be a great partner, and we search for great partners to do business with. Thankfully we have found a great partner in Northern Refrigerated.
They truly go out of their way to ensure our freight is on time, rated fairly and most importantly done with integrity. They have been a great partner for years and I am proud to call them our JB Hunt Refrigerated LTL Carrier of the YEAR! This is well deserved as they are a joy to work with from their knowledgeable and patient operations to their quick and fair sales team. Northern is a strong and valuable Partner with JB Hunt.”

Tania received a call today from a driver out of Texas, who wanted to let us know how great he thinks NRT is. The caller said it is nice to feel so at home when his real home is so far away. He said he is here at least once a week and is always treated with respect and kindness.

He has helped us out a ton. When there is an issue he finds us a solution. We really appreciate he and his team’s work. Barry If I lived close to you I would buy you a beer! Thanks for helping us out.

I would love for Trina to be our dedicated CSR. I honestly have no idea who has been assigned for our Mode office but would be thrilled if it could be her. These two orders were tough and she came thru and gave us all such a happy ending!

I’ve worked in transportation/logistics for over a decade and have spoken to a million drivers. Their job is demanding and can often be frustrating which leads so many of them to have a negative attitude wherever they go or they just stop caring. It’s really rare to come across a driver who stands out among the others.

Thank you for your time and wonderful service as always!

As a general rule, I don’t regularly compliment vendors or their staff.  However in the case of our Northern driver, Mario, I felt it necessary to pass on to you a special commendation. He is one of the best, if not the very best, driver that I deal with at Store #74.  Mario is always extremely courteous, efficient and attentive to the special needs at Store 74.  It is a pleasure working with him.I certainly look forward to continuing our business relationship with Mario going forward.

Doug and Travis are great to work with. Especially Travis – but I work with him more frequently, so he has more chances to shine and shine he does!! 

Debi Vanderlin | Market Centre

I just wanted to let you know that I am very grateful to have Mario as my Unified driver. He always waits until I am ready for him even if there is Trucks before him. He is a great Worker and adjusts to any condition that is put in front of him. I feel like he is a big caring person and will not mind waiting.

Management | From everyone at Bevmo Store #145

“I just wanted to say what an awesome job NRT has been doing lately!!  Everyone seems to be on point and just knocking it out of the Park!!  Excellent communication!!   EDI is great and the two day transit seems to be working very well!  Thank you and your Team for all the hard work as it is much appreciated!!”

Julie Gannon | US Cold

Team, I am so thankful for all the help you have provided me today. I will absolutely be a long term customer of yours and I am so appreciative for putting up with all the changes. Unfortunately, our company does not move a lot of refrigerated and frozen product relative to other customers you may have but I will definitely look your way when logistical needs. Thanks again!

Welcome to Northern Refrigerated Transportation, Inc.

“Service is the Difference”

This isn’t just our motto; this is why our business exists today. Northern Refrigerated was founded by my parents in 1947 under the name Northern Milk Lines. The operation began by hauling milk cans and tankers from small dairies to the creamery. It has grown into a 200 truck operation serving the 6 western states by staying true to our motto. We have remained a family oriented company and believe that our greatest asset is our people. We are in business to cultivate partnerships with our customers, believing that in doing this, both will be successful. ~ Rick Mello
