Our History

We run commercial and B2B freight every day on the bulk, wholesale level to provide fast and affordable logistics and trucking solutions. We are a group of dedicated logistics and shipping professionals who specialize in offering tailored solutions. Let’s take a quick journey back in time to learn more about our history.
The On Track Journey
After helping launch and start a new trucking company back in 1976 at the age of 22, Larry Baynes (one of the founders) actively worked his way from the bottom to the top of the organization. From deliveries, administration, sales, logistics, and more, Larry demonstrated a commitment to learning the transportation business from the inside out.
Over the course of an illustrious 16-year period, he climbed through the ranks, matriculating up to Executive Vice President. However, market downturns and other factors placed the company under financial duress, which led to a corporate buyout.
After the company was sold, Larry connected with accomplished entrepreneur and industry expert, Sebastien Duval, to create On Track Freight Systems. While Larry brought the sales and administrative expertise, Sebastian was an experienced trucking owner-operator with a fleet of trucks and drivers.
Boasting over 50 years of collective trucking experience, Larry and Sebastien set off to elevate the status quo and redefine expectations in the industry. Even though the two had slightly different backgrounds, they both understood the critical importance of putting the customer first. Larry and Sebastien both agreed that On Track Freight System would always strive to provide consistent, on-time service at the most competitive rate in the industry.
And nearly three decades later, the On Track mission remains as clear and in focus as the day it was founded.

Reliable Full-Truckload Shipping in New York & New Jersey
If you’re in the New York or New Jersey Metro area, On Track Freight Systems offers robust full truckload delivery services. With our FTL shipping solutions, we’ll use a single truck to carry your shipment. While FTL can appear to be more expensive than LTL, it offers a myriad of attractive benefits over other types of shipping.
Our FTL shipping can work out to be the more economical solution for larger shipments that have to fill the entire space of a truck.
Full truckloads have fewer restrictions on the size and weight of the loads compared to less-than-truckloads.
FTL shipments typically will arrive at their destination quicker because the truck is carrying a dedicated load, makes no other drop-offs, or pickups along the journey.
With FTL shipping, your freight is traditionally safer and may have fewer chances of being damaged during transportation because there are no truck changes.
FTL in New York and New Jersey may be your preferred method of shipping if you have heavier loads or bigger loads that are more valuable.
Reliable LTL Shipping: Less-Than-Truckload Freight Shipping Services
Less-Than-Truckload freight shipping is used for the transportation of smaller freight that doesn’t require a whole trailer or truck. When using LTL shipping services, you’ll only pay for the portion of the truck or trailer that your freight occupies, while the other shippers will pay for the space filled by their freight.
At On Track Freight Systems, we offer highly-affordable, fast LTL overnight shipping in the New York and New Jersey area. If you’re looking for LTL services throughout the nation, the team at On Track can help! We’ll work closely with our partners to ensure you enjoy the seamless, fast, and affordable national LTL shipping solutions you’ve come to expect from On Track. Contact us today to request LTL rates.
Affordable Next Day LTL Services in New York & New Jersey
New York City is recognized as one of the densest populated municipalities in the United States with a staggering 8 million people and the New Jersey Metro Area isn’t far behind. Needless to say, the New York and New Jersey metro areas are bustling centers of economic activity. Because of this, On Track Freight Systems offers fast and affordable next day less-than-truckload shipping to businesses and commercial customers.
We work with commercial and industrial facilities across industries to help them achieve their organizational goals. Whether your delivery is in New York or New Jersey, we perform pickups on the same day when you call into our customer service department. All shipments are then delivered the next day. In the event you require a scheduled appointment, we’ll go the distance for you to make the appointment and deliver your freight as specified.
Save Money with Economical Flat Rate Pallet Shipping
Similar to parcel shipping, pricing by the pallet simplifies the freight shipping pricing model. Instead of pricing by individual freight size or weight, pricing by the pallet removes the complexity of quoting freight costs and makes the cost to move freight more predictable for small volume and large volume shippers.
On Track Freight Systems Flat Rate Pallet Shipping
On Track Freight Systems offers flat rate pallet shipping regardless of the commodity or freight class. This allows us to provide extra value to our customers especially if they ship heavier products, have consistent volumes of the same freight, and are traveling between the same pickup and delivery points.
Shipping by the pallet allows you to send freight using LTL – an advantage for shippers that do not have a full truckload of freight. This flexibility enables you to move freight more rapidly but without the need for standard LTL quotes for each shipment.
When shipping goods, it’s always important to minimize movement. Pack crates or boxes as full
as possible, with heavier items on the bottom. If the crate is not filled, use packing material
to plug the empty spaces.
Freight service providers offer tracking services online to access a shipment’s status 24/7
from your computer or mobile device. You can track a shipment with a BOL number, but you can often
access the shipment’s location with the pro number, PO number, shipment reference number and shipment
number as well.
