Matching the carrier to the freight

Produce season demands pre-cooled equipment and PTI discipline, covered in our reefer PTI guide. Setting the box correctly by commodity is its own skill, detailed in our temperature settings guide, and small shipments should compare against the options in our reefer LTL shipper guide.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in a Florida reefer carrier?

Verify active refrigerated equipment, temperature monitoring with downloadable logs, food-safety compliance under FSMA sanitary transport rules, and lane coverage that matches your customers. For produce and pharma, ask about pre-cooling and PTI discipline.

How much does refrigerated trucking cost compared to dry van?

Reefer typically prices 20 to 40 percent above dry van on the same lane, reflecting equipment cost, fuel for the unit, and tighter capacity. Rates spike during Florida produce season from roughly March through June.

Can one pallet ship refrigerated from Miami?

Yes. Reefer LTL consolidates temperature-controlled pallets from multiple shippers on scheduled routes, which is the economical option below about six pallets.
