Reefer dispatch

What we handle for your reefer

• Find reefer loads with the right temperature, commodity and appointment windows for your lanes
• Confirm set point, continuous or cycle mode and pre-cool instructions before you accept
• Push for detention and layover pay, which matter more in reefer because receivers can run late
• Plan fuel for both the truck and the reefer unit, and the next load near your delivery
• Keep temperature notes and paperwork together in case of a claim

Loads we look for

Reefer freight usually pays more per mile than dry van, but it comes with stricter rules. Shippers may check pulp temperature, require a clean washout and expect you to keep the unit running at the set point for the whole trip.

• Fresh produce
• Meat and poultry
• Dairy and eggs
• Frozen food
• Beverages that can't freeze
• Pharmaceutical and floral (with experience)

What brokers will ask for

Reefer brokers usually ask for more than van brokers:

• Cargo insurance that includes reefer breakdown coverage
• Auto liability of $1,000,000 and cargo of $100,000 or more
• A reefer unit that can download temperature records
• Food-grade, clean trailer and washout receipts when asked
• ELD for tracking and hours of service

Pricing
