Anthony Marano Company

Anthony Marano Company is a family-owned produce distributor founded in 1947, headquartered in Chicago with a facility in Forest Park, Georgia. While primarily a wholesale provider of fruits and vegetables across the Midwest, the company also operates an in-house refrigerated freight brokerage division called RAM Transportation, which handles the movement of perishable goods for both internal and external shipping needs.

RAM Transportation arranges refrigerated and temperature-controlled truckload freight, managing scheduling, routing, and carrier relationships for perishable products. The division operates out of Chicago and holds both carrier and brokerage authority with the FMCSA. Its focus is squarely on cold chain logistics — moving fresh produce and other temperature-sensitive items reliably from origin to destination.

Shippers in the produce industry and adjacent perishable goods sectors use Anthony Marano's transportation services when they need refrigerated capacity, particularly for moves originating in or passing through the Midwest. The company's deep roots in produce distribution give it practical expertise in handling the timing and temperature requirements that come with fresh food freight.
