Refrigerated trucking is essential for transporting food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive goods across the United States. When these products aren’t kept at the correct temperature during transit, they can spoil, lose effectiveness or even become unsafe for use.
Classic Carriers specializes in refrigerated trucking, using advanced equipment and technology to keep your products safe from pickup to delivery.
The Critical Role of Refrigerated Shipping
Temperature-controlled transportation, commonly known as “reefer” trucking, is a vital part of today’s supply chains for a wide variety of goods. From frozen and refrigerated foods to pharmaceuticals, chemicals and other sensitive products, keeping shipments within strict temperature ranges is essential to preserve quality, safety and effectiveness.
The global refrigerated transport market is projected to reach $5.63 billion by 2028, reflecting the growing demand for reliable cold chain services. In this industry, even a small temperature fluctuation can have serious consequences.
