There are a multitude of products which require frozen or refrigerated transportation from manufacturing facilities, wholesaler’s warehouses and even retail outlets. Anything from wine to produce to candy to flowers to pharmaceuticals can require controlled temperatures during shipment. Whether a shipper needs to ship a truckload of refrigerated freight or less than a truckload (LTL), Freightquote.com can help manage that shipment from quote to delivery.

Refrigerated vans or trailers (also called “reefers”) are not offered by every carrier on the road. Finding a reputable carrier of refrigerated goods can take a bit more effort on the part of a shipper than in a typical shipment situation. Fortunately for TL and LTL refrigerated cargo shippers, Freightquote has long-standing relationships with scores of national and regional refrigerated carriers.

Quoting a refrigerated shipment via Freightquote is just a simple as quoting any other shipment. All the pertinent shipment information is submitted to Freightquote’s easy online quoting system. Relevant – and very competitive – quotes are instantaneously provided to the shipper on screen for efficient comparison.

Once a shipper chooses a carrier for the refrigerated shipment, booking the load is as easy as pushing a button. The shipper can then use Freightquote’s simple online freight management system to schedule, track and confirm the delivery. Invoicing and payment can all be handled in the same system as well.

Freightquote and its experienced customer service representatives know that the shipment of refrigerated commodities is stressful and fraught with risk. A shipper using Freightquote to ship that load though can rest assured that the carrier they choose will have state-of-the-art refrigerated equipment. Whether the load ultimately needs an insulated van or an actual refrigerated van, Freightquote can handle it easily and efficiently. Even mixed-temperature shipments are no problem.

In addition to equipment, any carrier used by Freightquote for the shipment of refrigerated cargo can be trusted to deliver the goods in a time-sensitive manner. Refrigerated goods are often, if not always, perishable. Regardless of the quality of the refrigeration equipment, these commodities must be delivered in a timely manner. Freightquote’s customers will only receive quotes from carriers that Freightquote trusts to make that timely delivery.
