Setting a New Standard in Freight
By holding ourselves to the highest standards and learning from every delivery, we help create a more efficient, transparent, and trustworthy logistics industry for everyone.
Here’s exactly what you get when you book capacity with Orca.
- We primarily source experienced reefer carriers that regularly run out of Salinas, Yuma, McAllen, and other high-volume produce regions, even during peak season when capacity disappears.
- Every truck we book confirms reefer pre-cool and temperature set point, before pickup so your load doesn’t get rejected at delivery.
- We provide updates proactively, not when you ask, including real-time ETAs, detention alerts, and carrier check-ins at critical points.
- We only work with vetted carriers who’ve proven they can handle perishable freight without claims, missed appointments, or weak communication.
- We chase down temp logs, BOLs, and PODs for you right after delivery, so your accounting and QA teams aren’t left waiting for paperwork.
- If a truck has a breakdown or delay, we don’t spin stories, we immediately communicate what’s happening and offer real solutions, not excuses.
- We help you plan ahead with lane-specific rates based on what we’re seeing in real time across the reefer market, not just a DAT average.
- We don’t promise coverage unless we can actually deliver, and we don’t touch loads we know we can’t run the right way.
- You won’t be passed from one rep to another, the person who books your freight is the same person who watches it move and closes it out.
