Your shipment needs to stay cold but your carrier can't handle it?
Refrigerated transport solutions for Wisconsin businesses from Gateway Logistics.
You have perishable products that must stay at the right temperature during shipping. Your regular trucking company doesn't have refrigerated trucks. You're worried about spoilage, product loss, and disappointed customers in Wisconsin's changing climate.
Temperature-sensitive cargo requires specialized refrigerated trucks called reefer units. These trucks maintain precise temperatures from pickup to delivery. Your regular carrier likely focuses on dry freight and doesn't invest in the expensive refrigeration equipment needed for perishables, pharmaceuticals, or other climate-sensitive products.
Refrigerated transport typically costs 20-40% more than standard trucking due to fuel for cooling systems and specialized equipment. Pricing depends on distance, temperature requirements, and cargo size. Wisconsin's temperature swings from summer heat to winter cold make reliable refrigeration even more critical for maintaining product integrity.
Contact a logistics company that specializes in temperature-controlled freight. Ask about their reefer fleet, backup cooling systems, and real-time temperature monitoring. Gateway Logistics maintains refrigerated trucks with redundant systems and 24/7 tracking. Verify they have experience with your specific product type and required temperature range.
With proper refrigerated transport, your products arrive at the correct temperature every time. You avoid costly spoilage and maintain customer trust. Your cold chain stays intact from Wisconsin pickup to final delivery.
