With strategic freight consolidation, EchoChill combines smaller, chilled shipments into one full load, keeping freight on the same trailer throughout transit. This minimizes handling and eliminates extra stops, container switches and lost time, helping preserve product integrity. 

April 15, 2026

Echo Global Logistics, Inc., a leading provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, announced the expansion of EchoChill, the company's consolidated refrigerated LTL solution, with a new storage cooler facility in Sacramento, California. 

The facility allows clients based out of the Pacific Northwest, northern California, and the upper mountain states to access cost-effective, chilled LTL transportation via strategic freight consolidation. EchoChill's expanded reach now offers strategic solutions for clients who ship outbound from the West Coast, Midwest, and Northeast regions.

"EchoChill provides an essential service to temperature-controlled shippers looking to move smaller volumes without sacrificing reliability," said Dave Menzel, president and COO at Echo. "By offering consolidated refrigerated transportation, Echo is able to provide a faster and more cost-effective solution with lower claims potential."

With strategic freight consolidation, EchoChill combines smaller, chilled shipments into one full load, keeping freight on the same trailer throughout transit. This minimizes handling and eliminates extra stops, container switches and lost time, helping preserve product integrity. 

Additionally, each EchoChill facility and trailer is designed to maintain consistent temperatures, ensuring products maintain optimal condition and arrive free from spoilage. 

"Our Sacramento cooler offers extensive capacity and operates at a steady 34 degrees Fahrenheit," said Joe Amici, director of consolidation at Echo. "This new facility creates additional flexibility for our West Coast clients and expands our national, temperature-controlled footprint. By leveraging consolidation, our clients can also benefit from a more eco-friendly shipping option."
