Keep your RTD Beverages Cool and On-Time

The world of beverages is evolving, and Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages are skyrocketing. From hard seltzers to canned cocktails, these convenient drinks are in high demand across bars, restaurants, and retail stores. If you’re a smaller beverage manufacturer, getting your RTDs out to the market efficiently and at the perfect temperature is key. That’s where Advantage Transportation comes in.

Refrigerated LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping is the perfect solution for getting your RTD beverages—like spiked sodas, canned cocktails, hard teas, hard ciders, and wine coolers—delivered cold and fresh. With temperature-controlled shipping, you can ensure your drinks maintain their quality during transit, whether you’re sending smaller shipments or scaling up your distribution. 

The Perfect Solution for Small and Growing Beverage Brands

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up production, reliable RTD distribution is essential to getting your drinks into the hands of consumers. We specialize in refrigerated LTL shipping, which means you can ship smaller quantities without the cost of reserving an entire truck. This allows you to send your products to distributors and wholesalers —all while keeping them at the ideal temperature!

Temperature-Controlled Shipping: Keeping RTDs Fresh

When it comes to RTD shipping, temperature control is critical. Whether you’re shipping a refreshing hard seltzer or spiked tea or cider, pre-mixed margaritas, or a hard kombucha, maintaining the right temperature ensures that your beverages arrive tasting as crisp and fresh as when they left the production line.

Our fleet is equipped with refrigerated trucks designed to keep your products at their optimal temperature from start to finish. Whether you need hard seltzer refrigerated shipping, canned cocktails shipping, or wine coolers shipping, we take every precaution to protect their quality during transport. We also offer temperature-controlled warehousing for both short-term and long-term storage needs.

Secure, Reliable, and Scalable

No shipment is too big or too small. With our scalable solutions, you can ship as much or as little as you need—whether it’s a few pallets for a retailer or a full refrigerated truckload for larger distribution.

Alcoholic Beverage ShippingWhy Choose Advantage Transportation?

When it comes to craft beer, temperature is everything. We know that even the slightest fluctuations can affect your product’s taste, carbonation, and overall quality. That’s why our fleet is equipped with temperature-controlled vehicles, ensuring your beer arrives in the same perfect condition as when it left your brewery. From cross-state small deliveries to larger shipments, we take every precaution to protect your craft.

Our secure, anti-theft fleet protects your cargo from pickup to delivery. With high safety ratings, world-class drivers, and a proven track record, you can trust us to deliver your beer safely and securely every time. We know your craft beer is more valuable than its monetary value alone – it represents all the time, thought, and energy poured into every drop. When cargo theft is on the rise, beer and alcohol shipments are a popular target, as these are relatively easy to resell on the black market. 

Smaller craft breweries may have very limited product availability, which why it’s important to only entrust your beer to the Beer and Wine Shipping Specialists. We have over 40 years of experience providing secure, reliable, and timely shipments, specializing in the alcoholic beverage industry.
