My shipment needs to stay cold but my regular carrier can't handle it
Temperature-controlled trucking solutions for New Mexico businesses and shippers.
You have perishable goods or temperature-sensitive products that need to ship across New Mexico or beyond. Your usual trucking company doesn't have refrigerated trucks, and you're worried your product will spoil during transport in New Mexico's desert heat.
Temperature-sensitive cargo requires specialized refrigerated trucks, also called reefer trucks. These vehicles maintain precise temperatures from pickup to delivery, protecting perishables, pharmaceuticals, and climate-sensitive products. Regular carriers often lack this equipment or the expertise to handle cold chain requirements.
Refrigerated transport typically costs 15-30% more than standard freight, depending on distance and temperature requirements. Cross-state shipments in New Mexico may take 1-3 days with proper cold chain management. Costs increase for multi-temperature zones, pharmaceutical-grade requirements, or expedited delivery during extreme weather.
Contact a logistics company that specializes in refrigerated transport this week. Ask about their temperature monitoring systems, backup power options, and what happens if equipment fails mid-route. Gateway Logistics operates temperature-controlled trucks throughout New Mexico with real-time monitoring and contingency plans for equipment issues.
Once you have proper refrigerated transport, your temperature-sensitive products arrive in the same condition they left. No spoilage, no damaged goods, and no worried customers asking why their order arrived warm.
