About ColdStar Solutions

The ColdStar brand was created in January 2000 and has become a highly respected transport company specializing in hauling and distributing refrigerated and dry food. We have a high-tech fleet of over 45 trucks (and growing!) and six warehouse facilities. We’ve worked hard to be more than your average trucking company. Our transport division focuses solely on food products. That’s all we haul. Our trucks, warehouses, safety procedures, and drivers are all specially built, trained, and equipped to handle food shipping and storage. This has allowed us to become experts at hauling food.

Local Expertise

We’ve stayed local, trucking food between the condensed communities of the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and the Gulf Islands. As one of the top commercial users of BC Ferries, we are very familiar with the challenges of hauling food to island communities and excel at solving these challenges.
