Temperature controlled
Reefer Loads
Temperature-controlled freight — produce, dairy, frozen, pharma — with reefer-literate dispatching.
The freight
What reefer loads work really is
Reefer freight pays a premium because the margin for error is zero: a rejected load of produce is a five-figure claim. Good reefer dispatching is about protecting you from that claim as much as finding the rate.
Our dispatchers read the fine print — continuous vs cycle-sentry, pulp temperature requirements, protect-from-freeze season — and put every temperature instruction in writing on the rate con before you load.

Our playbook
How we dispatch & broker reefer loads
Temperature mode, set point, and pulping rights are confirmed in writing on every rate confirmation.
We schedule around receiver windows notorious for detention and bill it when you're held.
Produce-season planning positions you in high-rate markets before the surge, not after it.
Quick answers
Reefer Loads, asked and answered
The shipper's written instruction on the rate con controls. If a broker gives a verbal temp change, we get it amended in writing before you adjust the unit — that paper trail is what wins claims disputes.
