Reefer dispatch
Temperature-sensitive freight, handled with the details that matter.
Overview
Dispatching for reefer carriers
Reefer freight pays well but comes with more to track: set temperatures, continuous versus cycle-sentry, and receivers that reject a load over a few degrees. We keep those details on the rate confirmation and front of mind, so nothing gets lost between booking and delivery.
What we watch
Load planning for reefer
Temperature on the paperwork
We confirm the required temperature and run mode with the broker and get it in writing on the rate confirmation, so there's no dispute at the receiver.
Produce season swings
Rates and load volume move hard with the seasons. We plan around the busy produce windows and the slower stretches so your weeks stay as steady as the market allows.
Appointments and detention
Cold-storage facilities can run slow. We set firm appointments and track detention, and we're on the phone with the broker when a dock holds you longer than it should.
Do you confirm the required temperature on each load?
Yes. We confirm the set temperature and run mode with the broker and get it on the rate confirmation, so there's no dispute at the receiver over how the load was supposed to run.
Can you dispatch through produce season?
We do. Reefer volume and rates swing hard with the seasons, so we plan around the busy produce windows and the slower stretches to keep your weeks as steady as the market allows.
Does reefer freight usually pay more than dry van?
It often does, because it comes with more to manage. We work the rate on every load, but we don't promise a number — the market and the lane set what's there.
