How OnTime moves life sciences / medical / pharma freight
Customer
Pharma supply-chain directors, clinical-trial logistics managers, and hospital chief pharmacy officers who cannot accept a temperature excursion or a broken chain of custody.
Problem
Pharmaceutical and biologic freight fails on temperature and documentation, not distance. A single excursion can scrap a biologic lot worth more than the truck; a gap in the chain of custody can fail a GxP audit and a DEA reconciliation.
Solution
We move validated cold chain — 2-8°C ambient, -20°C frozen, and -70°C deep-frozen for vaccines and biologics — with a validated datalogger on every shipment, USP <659> packaging, USP <800> hazardous-drug handling, GxP chain-of-custody from pickup to consignee, and DEA-registered drivers for Schedule II-V. Excursions trigger a 24/7 dispatch escalation, not a next-business-day email.
Result
Shippers get an audit-ready chain of custody, on-temperature delivery they can prove, and a single accountable desk — with RK pharma-grade warehousing and W2W FDA-IAC freight forwarding behind it when the program goes national or international.
