Local grocers, restaurants, food distributors, and institutional accounts rely on us for refrigerated and frozen LTL trucking, long-term and short-term freezer storage, and cold-chain distribution that keeps temperature-sensitive product safe from origin to destination.

About Colorado Springs, CO
Colorado Springs is the second-largest city in Colorado, with a population of roughly 500,000 residents inside a county, El Paso, that is home to more than 730,000 people, making it the most populous county in the state (see the U.S. Census Bureau). The city sits at an elevation of about 6,035 feet above sea level, more than a mile high, roughly 70 miles south of Denver along the I-25 corridor. That location matters for logistics: it puts Colorado Springs within a comfortable same-region drive of our Aurora hub while keeping it distinct from the Denver metro market.
Colorado Springs has a diversified economy anchored by a large defense and military presence, including Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and the United States Air Force Academy, alongside healthcare, tourism, technology, and manufacturing. Those sectors drive steady demand for institutional food service, grocery, restaurant, and pharmaceutical cold-chain deliveries. The region is also high and dry, averaging around 300 days of sunshine a year with wide day-to-night temperature swings, so maintaining a consistent, documented temperature in transit is not a nice-to-have, it is the whole job. That is the standard Mile Hi Express holds every load to.
Refrigerated & Frozen Trucking Services We Provide in Colorado Springs
Mile Hi Express covers the full temperature-controlled logistics picture for Colorado Springs on one page. Each service below has its own dedicated page with more detail, and we are happy to combine services (for example, storage plus scheduled delivery) into a single plan.
Refrigerated & Frozen LTL Trucking
Our core service is refrigerated and frozen LTL, or less-than-truckload, trucking. LTL is the right fit when your shipment does not fill an entire trailer: your pallets share a temperature-controlled trailer with other freight moving at the same set point, and you pay only for the space you use. We handle both chilled and frozen product, consolidate loads, and run pool trucks so smaller Colorado Springs shippers get reliable cold-chain service without full-truckload costs. For redelivery and final-mile coordination along the Front Range, see our LTL redelivery services page.
Long-Term & Short-Term Freezer Storage
Moving product is only half of the cold chain; holding it correctly is the other half. Mile Hi Express offers refrigerated and frozen storage for Colorado Springs businesses, in both long-term and short-term arrangements. Long-term storage suits seasonal produce, bulk inventory, and safety stock, while short-term storage absorbs promotional spikes, unexpected surges, and staging before distribution. Our facilities use monitored refrigeration to hold consistent temperatures, and flexible terms let you scale space up or down as your volume changes.
Refrigerated & Frozen Distribution Services
Beyond point-to-point hauling, Mile Hi Express provides refrigerated and frozen distribution services, including deliveries into retail and food distribution centers. We can receive product, stage it, and route it out to multiple Colorado Springs destinations on a schedule that matches your receiving windows. This is a good fit for suppliers who need product broken down and delivered to several stops rather than a single drop, all under one temperature-controlled roof.
Cross Docking & Accessorial Services
Our cross docking and accessorial services let you move freight from an inbound trailer to outbound delivery without long-term warehousing, which speeds turnaround and reduces handling. We also offer transloading and interline handoffs, pallet exchange, and load consolidation, so your Colorado Springs freight is handled efficiently at every step. These capabilities are why shippers who need flexible, hands-on coordination, not just a truck, choose Mile Hi Express.

How Does Our Colorado Springs Delivery Schedule Work?
We run a standing weekly route to the Colorado Springs area, so you do not have to wonder when the next truck is coming. Mile Hi Express currently delivers to Colorado Springs and nearby Pueblo on Tuesdays and Fridays, with the Cañon City and Florence area served on the same southern run by appointment. Because the schedule is predictable, Colorado Springs grocers, restaurants, and distributors can line up their ordering and receiving around it and keep inventory tight.
Everything runs off our Aurora facility and down the I-25 corridor, the same road that connects the Denver metro to southern Colorado. You can review our full weekly delivery schedule for other Front Range stops, and if your timing does not line up with a scheduled run, our team can discuss dedicated pickup options.

What Products Do We Haul To and From Colorado Springs?
Mile Hi Express carries a broad range of temperature-sensitive freight for Colorado Springs businesses, at both refrigerated and frozen set points. Common categories include:
- Fresh and frozen food, including meat, poultry, and seafood
- Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt
- Produce, fresh-cut items, and other chilled goods
- Beverages and prepared or ready-to-eat foods
- Other perishable and climate-sensitive products that require a maintained cold chain
If your commodity has a specific temperature or handling requirement, tell us when you book and we will confirm the exact set point and any special handling before the truck rolls.
Keeping Your Cold Chain Compliant and Documented
For food and other sensitive freight, maintaining temperature is a regulatory expectation, not just good practice. The FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act sets sanitary transportation requirements for human and animal food, and guidance from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service reinforces how important an unbroken cold chain is for perishable product. Mile Hi Express supports your compliance program with temperature-monitored equipment and inventory reporting through EDI and web-based reports, so the documentation is there when your customers or auditors ask for it. The result is straightforward: your product arrives at the right temperature, and you have the records to prove it.
