Food shipment needs temperature control?
Refrigerated transport solutions from Gateway Logistics in Cincinnati, OH.
Your perishable food products need to stay at the right temperature during transport. One temperature break could spoil your entire shipment and violate food safety requirements. Cincinnati's position as a regional shipping hub means you have options for temperature-controlled freight.
Temperature breaks happen when refrigerated trucks lose power, have equipment failures, or when drivers don't monitor temps properly. Your frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, or beverages could spoil in hours. Food safety rules require continuous cold chain documentation for most perishables.
Cost depends on distance, load size, and temperature requirements. Refrigerated shipping typically runs 20-30% more than dry freight. Frozen loads cost more than just keeping things cool. Longer hauls and multiple stops increase the risk and price.
Look for carriers with modern reefer trailers and real-time temperature monitoring. Ask about backup power systems and what happens if temps go out of range. Gateway Logistics specializes in food and beverage freight with continuous monitoring and immediate alerts for any temperature issues.
Your products arrive at the right temperature with full documentation. You avoid spoilage, meet food safety requirements, and keep your customers happy. No surprises, no excuses, no ruined shipments.
