Your shipment needs to stay cold but your carrier can't handle it?
Refrigerated transport solutions for Florida businesses from Gateway Logistics.
You have perishables, pharmaceuticals, or temperature-sensitive products ready to ship across Florida. Your regular trucking company doesn't have refrigerated trucks. You're worried your product will spoil, lose potency, or arrive damaged because it wasn't kept at the right temperature during transport.
Temperature-controlled shipping requires specialized refrigerated trucks with precise climate monitoring. Regular freight carriers don't have reefer equipment or the training to maintain cold chain integrity. Your products need consistent temperatures from pickup in Miami to delivery in Jacksonville, especially during Florida's hot, humid summers.
Refrigerated transport typically costs 20-40% more than standard shipping, depending on distance and temperature requirements. Pharmaceutical shipments need tighter controls than produce. Multi-stop routes cost more because the trailer opens frequently. Emergency or rush deliveries add premium charges.
Call a logistics company that specializes in temperature-controlled freight. Ask about their reefer fleet, backup power systems, and what happens if equipment fails mid-route. Gateway Logistics handles refrigerated shipments across Florida with real-time temperature monitoring and contingency plans for equipment breakdowns.
Your products arrive at the correct temperature, maintaining quality and meeting regulatory requirements. You get tracking updates and temperature logs for your records. No more worrying about spoiled inventory or failed inspections.
