Freight news


Refrigerated trucks or reefers are used to transport temperature-controlled freight. Distributors of perishables have to ensure their product's life during transit, including food products and medical supplies. Freight carriers who offer refrigerated trucks to shippers meet this special requirement.

Refrigerated trucks use a mixture of air containing oxygen and an increased level of nitrogen to keep the products they are transporting at their required temperature. This ensures that the produce or other products will remain fresh and safe when it arrives at its destination.

Hospitals and medical laboratories generally cannot accept shipments of certain  medicines which have not been properly shipped. A degree above or below the specified temperature can harmfully affect the shipment. This also applies to foods which have been shipped to restaurants, hotels, hospitals, or other institutional kitchens. New technology is continually being developed to provide greater control of reefer temperatures. Some specialized units even provide a continuous record of the cargo temperatures from loading to unloading.

Refrigerated trucks are also used to transport plants for nurseries. The distribution company that you contact can offer more information on the perishable items that they will and can transport.
