Cold Chain Excellence

Protecting Cargo Integrity and Maximizing Reefer Margins

Operating refrigerated equipment carries higher operational overhead, including auxiliary unit diesel fuel consumption, specialized washouts, strict pulp temperature inspections, and tight receiver delivery appointments.

Our dispatchers factor in reefer fuel burn, washout allowances, layover protection, and seasonal produce shifts across major growing regions (California, Florida, Pacific Northwest, Texas) to secure premium rates that justify your equipment investment.

Reefer FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions regarding refrigerated dispatching.

What types of freight are typical for reefer trailers?

Common refrigerated freight includes fresh produce, meat and poultry, dairy products, frozen seafood, beverages, pharmaceuticals, floral products, and dry freight when reefer rates soften.

How do you handle pre-cooling and temperature requirement checks?

We review rate confirmations to verify explicit temperature instructions (continuous vs cycle-sentry, specific degrees Fahrenheit), confirm pulp temperature requirements at loading, and coordinate with shippers on pre-cooling windows.

What is the dispatch fee for reefer carriers?

Our dispatch fee for refrigerated trailers is 5% of eligible gross load revenue dispatched by Fusion Freight Trans LLC. No hidden fees or weekly subscriptions.

Do you dispatch dry freight in reefer trailers?

Yes. When refrigerated volumes are light in a particular region, we seek dry freight opportunities that pay competitive rates to keep your equipment moving without unnecessary deadhead.
