OTR

OTR Transportation is a Chicago-based freight brokerage that arranges shipments across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The company serves shippers across a range of industries, with particular depth in temperature-controlled and time-sensitive freight.

OTR's service portfolio includes temperature-controlled (refrigerated, frozen, multi-temp), dry van, flatbed, open-deck, LTL, expedited, drayage, specialized and oversized/overweight loads, and a drop trailer program. Cross-border services cover inbound, outbound, and intra-Mexico as well as inbound, outbound, and intra-Canada, with C-TPAT certified carriers and customs brokerage coordination. The company sources capacity through an extensive network of vetted carriers and offers 24/7 monitoring and load tracking.

Shippers commonly use OTR for perishable and temperature-sensitive freight where on-time performance is non-negotiable, as well as for expedited shipments, cross-border moves into Mexico and Canada, and specialized loads that require open-deck or oversized equipment.
