With perishables, timing isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s everything.

Whether you’re distributing fresh food, temperature-sensitive ingredients, or boxed retail consumables, the risk is the same: spoilage, shrinkage, and missed SLAs. And with consumer expectations higher than ever, delays and mishandling can cost more than just the product—they can cost your reputation.

At American Expediting, we move time-sensitive, high-volume goods with the care and speed they demand. From grocery distribution and meal kits to CPG brands and direct-to-consumer shipments, we keep inventory moving and protected—nationwide, with full visibility every step of the way.
