A direct asset-based refrigerated carrier serving shippers nationwide — no brokers, no middlemen, no markups.
Lightning Transport Inc is an asset-based refrigerated trucking company headquartered in Iselin, New Jersey, with our fleet yard in nearby Cliffwood. With a fleet of 80+ late-model tractor trailers and refrigerated units, we move temperature-sensitive freight safely and on time — coast to coast.
For over ten years, we've built a reputation on consistency, transparency, and getting the job done. We work hand-in-hand with shippers who expect more than promises — they expect results.
When you ship with Lightning Transport, you're working directly with the people who own and operate every truck in our fleet. No call centers. No third-party guesswork. Just reliable refrigerated freight, handled right.
End-to-end refrigerated freight solutions built around reliability, speed, and direct accountability.
Long-haul refrigerated freight across the continental United States. Our modern fleet and experienced drivers keep your load moving — and on schedule.
Need fast turnaround closer to home? We offer reliable regional delivery throughout New Jersey, the tri-state area, and beyond.
Time-critical shipments call for two-driver teams. We offer expedited team driving to cut transit times and meet tight delivery windows.
Our dedicated reefer fleet maintains precise temperature throughout every leg of the journey — from loading dock to final destination.
We're not a broker. We're not a call center. We're the carrier — and that changes everything.
You deal with us — the people who own and operate the trucks. That means transparent pricing, real accountability, and no markup layers.
Every truck in our fleet is under two years old. That means fewer breakdowns, better fuel efficiency, and peace of mind on every lane.
Our in-house maintenance facility and nationwide support network are built to minimize downtime and keep your freight on the move.
With team driving options available, we deliver faster transit times for freight that can't wait — without compromising safety or compliance.
Our fleet depth and load planning mean you won't be left scrambling. Reliable equipment, reliable capacity, reliable service.
Freight doesn't stop at 5pm and neither do we. Our dispatch and ops team is available around the clock to keep things moving smoothly.
Team OTR, paid training, solo OTR, and near-daily-home standby positions — all based from our Cliffwood, New Jersey fleet yard.
Standard experienced drivers start at $0.70 CPM. Extensive experience may qualify for $0.75 CPM to start. Each driver is paid for their own miles.
