Reefer dispatch for temperature-controlled freight.
Reefer freight dispatch for owner-operators and small fleets — produce, protein, pharma, and packaged cold-chain loads across the United States.
Cold-chain dispatch for reefer owner-operators.
Reefer dispatch is temperature-controlled freight dispatch — sourcing and coordinating loads that require a refrigerated trailer to maintain a specific temperature from pickup to delivery. Common reefer freight includes produce, protein, dairy, frozen goods, and pharmaceuticals.
Our reefer dispatch service is built for owner-operators and small fleets running 53' refrigerated trailers. We source freight, negotiate rates, and manage the extra layers of communication that come with temp-controlled loads — pre-cool requirements, temperature setpoints, continuous vs. cycle mode, and produce appointment windows.
Reefer freight often pays more than dry van, but it also comes with tighter appointments and stricter shipper requirements. Our dispatchers understand that reality and match reefer carriers to freight that fits their equipment, experience, and preferred markets.
You always approve the load, the rate, and the schedule. We handle the shipper communication, paperwork, and any produce lane logistics that come with running a reefer.
