Reefer (refrigerated) trailers carry freight that has to stay within a set temperature range from pickup to delivery — produce, meat and dairy, frozen goods, and pharmaceutical shipments. Rates typically run higher than dry van because of the added equipment cost and stricter compliance requirements.
Typical figures for this equipment type — exact specs vary by carrier and manufacturer.
Tell your dispatcher which configuration you run — it changes which lanes and rates you're matched to.
One consistent temperature zone for the full trailer.
Trailer divided into two or three independently controlled zones.
Tighter tolerance monitoring for pharmaceutical and medical freight.
No long-term contract, no upfront fees — talk to a dispatcher who already knows your equipment.
