Perishable Foods Transportation
Utilizing Temperature Controlled Trucks to Deliver Perishable Food Loads Safely & Timely
The temperature inside our reefers is adjusted to the unique needs of your perishable goods cargo. We will adjust the temperature to suit your unique needs. For example, the ideal temp for transporting seafood is -1.0°C (30.2°F), dairy is 4°C (39.2°F), meat is 4°C (40°F).
