Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use The Hitch if I already have a 3PL or some in-house distribution?

Yes. Many of our partners use The Hitch to supplement their existing logistics — whether it’s to open up new markets, improve service levels, or reduce freight costs in specific regions.

Do I need to change my production schedule?

No — we adapt to your schedule. Our team works with you to align pickups, drop-offs, and routing with your current production rhythm, so there’s no disruption to your operations.

How does The Hitch actually work?

The Hitch connects your products to an existing network of refrigerated routes and facilities. Instead of managing your own cold chain, you plug into ours — gaining access to daily shipments, cold storage, and fulfillment support across the country.

Is The Hitch only for large national brands?

Not at all. The Hitch is built to serve both growing regional producers and established national brands. Whether you’re shipping to 5 distribution centers or 50, we help you scale without added infrastructure.

Is there a minimum volume requirement?

We work with partners of all sizes, but minimums may vary by lane or service type. We’ll help you assess if The Hitch makes sense for your shipping profile during your consultation.

What kinds of products can be shipped through The Hitch?

We specialize in temperature-sensitive, perishable food products — including dairy, bakery, frozen, pet food, and more. If it requires cold chain handling, we can move it.
