Temperature-controlled shipping, commonly known as reefer transport, is essential for industries handling perishable goods. From pharmaceuticals to fresh produce, maintaining precise temperature ranges throughout the supply chain prevents spoilage, ensures product safety, and protects your bottom line.
At Future Link Logistics, we specialize in refrigerated freight across the Canada-USA corridor. This guide covers the best practices that ensure your temperature-sensitive cargo arrives in optimal condition.
Always pre-cool your reefer unit before loading. This ensures the trailer reaches the required temperature before sensitive cargo enters.
Maintain airflow around all sides of the cargo. Avoid overloading and ensure products aren't blocking ventilation channels.
Limit the number of times trailer doors are opened. Each opening causes temperature fluctuations that stress your cargo.
Choose routes that minimize transit time and avoid extreme temperature zones. Our dispatch team optimizes routes for reefer loads.
Modern temperature monitoring is non-negotiable for reefer shipping. Our fleet is equipped with advanced telematics that provide:
Instant SMS and email notifications if cargo temperature deviates from set parameters.
Know exactly where your shipment is at all times with real-time GPS updates.
Complete temperature history documentation for compliance and quality assurance purposes.
Download detailed reports in multiple formats for regulatory compliance and customer documentation.
