Questions Shippers Ask

When should a shipper use reefer instead of dry van?

A shipper should use reefer instead of dry van when the freight must stay within a temperature range, avoid freezing, avoid overheating, or meet receiver requirements for food, beverage, produce, or other sensitive goods. Reefer service adds equipment, monitoring discipline, and escalation paths that dry van service does not provide.

What makes a temperature-controlled carrier dependable?

A dependable temperature-controlled carrier has suitable reefer equipment, drivers who understand temperature-sensitive freight, clear dispatch communication, and customer support that can escalate issues quickly. For cross-border freight, dependable service also means coordinating temperature requirements with customs timing, appointment windows, and warehouse needs.
