Metraco Transportation
One Partner, From Production Through Delivery
Most contract manufacturers hand your product off to a third-party carrier and lose visibility the moment it leaves the dock. New Horizons Food Solutions doesn’t. Through Metraco Transportation, our dedicated logistics and fleet division, we manage delivery in-house, combining a proprietary fleet, drivers, and established 3PL relationships to keep your product moving on a predictable, controlled timeline. As a food logistics company within the New Horizons family of brands, Metraco helps Partners maintain greater control over freight, communication, and delivery performance.
Metraco has supported NHFS’s distribution network since 2004, and today operates a regional fleet alongside national delivery partnerships, giving our partners freight control without sacrificing reach.

Freight and delivery shouldn’t be the part of your supply chain you worry about most. Let’s walk through your shipping requirements, geography, and volume, and talk through how Metraco can help keep your product moving reliably from our facilities to yours.
Logistics That Works For Your Supply Chain
At New Horizons Food Solutions, Metraco Transportation exists to remove a common pain point: losing control once a product leaves the facility. Rather than relying solely on outside carriers, Metraco pairs an owned fleet with 3PL logistics management, so Partners get fewer handoffs, stronger communication, and more dependable on-time performance. These integrated food distribution services help create a smoother experience from production through delivery.
Metraco’s fleet includes leased tractors and reefers supporting regional distribution, with facility-based drivers and yard staff positioned at key NHFS locations to keep product moving efficiently between production and delivery.
Where freight needs exceed in-house fleet capacity, Metraco manages third-party carrier relationships directly, so Partners don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors or lose visibility mid-shipment.
Pairing an owned fleet with managed 3PL relationships gives Partners more consistent transit times and fewer last-minute disruptions, particularly valuable for long-distance or time-sensitive shipments.
Logistics decisions are coordinated with production and packaging from the start, so Partners get one continuous process from formulation through delivery rather than separate vendors at each stage. This integrated approach helps support more effective food supply chain solutions for growing food manufacturers and brands.
