Reefer Loads: What's the need for refrigerated freight?

Running Refrigerated Loads with Red Dog Logistics 

As demand keeps rising we have to make sure we are meeting the needs of our consumers. Refrigerated loads are a vital part of the freight industry and they make sure you have fresh food in the grocery store and cold beer in your fridge. With people able to purchase digitally and more often from all around the world the need for specialized loads has increased. Which is why you need a logistics company that can guarantee a dependable carrier for packages of all sizes, including those that require refrigeration.

What exactly is refrigerated transportation?

The concept of refrigerated or “reefer” loads was first invented in 1925. Since that day, logistical expansion and the provision of this new form of transportation to clients have exploded. From ice-cold beer to frozen chicken thighs, reefer loads can ship them all. Refrigerated shipping is necessary for many types of commodities. It is not just the best choice, but an unavoidable need for many products. Typically, they are fast-moving items that have many specific needs including certain storage temperatures and shorter shelf lives which makes the transportation element all that more important. 

Delivering perishable goods 

Some may believe that refrigerated transportation is only necessary for a small number of items, however, this is incorrect. Every day, a large number of cargoes of various types transit from point A to point B. Foods are the most popular, although personal care goods, chemicals, medications, and other items are also something we see daily. Exporters of perishable products need specific transportation to ensure that the items are delivered on time and without damage. Transportation must be controlled in order to be free of the risk of degradation or loss of value. Other than your chicken wings and tallboys, some products such as medications are also life-saving, and their transportation needs are very sensitive. With our proprietary technology, Red Dog Logistics can match you with the best freighter for your needs. Temperature control, clean driving records, and a deep working knowledge of the industry set us ahead of the competition.
