Another Powerhouse Meat Packer Joins RTF's All-Star Line-Up

CHICAGO, IL—West Liberty Foods, LLC, has become the newest member of the Real Time Freight family and the second meat, poultry, and protein shipper to build a private load-transportation network. Operating out of its headquarters in West Liberty, Iowa, West Liberty Foods supplies customers, including Subway, Wal-Mart, and Denny’s, with more than 2.5 million pounds of sliced turkey, chicken, pork, beef, and cheese weekly. West Liberty Foods will use its network to provide clients with “superior service in production and delivery of products,” an important component of the company’s seven-pronged business mission.

“Known as a company that is concerned with food safety and quality services, West Liberty Foods is one of the most progressive meat-and-protein shipper in the market today,” says Jenny Kalchbrenner, a Real Time Freight account executive. “We are confident that, with our similar business objectives, Real Time and West Liberty will have a long and productive relationship that will benefit the clientele of both companies.”
