Yes. Our multi-zone temperature control capability allows a single truck to maintain separate frozen, chilled, and ambient zones simultaneously, so mixed-temperature loads don't require multiple trucks or trips.
Yes, we provide both FTL (full truckload) and LTL (less-than-truckload) refrigerated transport, so you can scale service to your shipment size, whether that's a full trailer of product or a smaller partial load.
Yes, trailers are pre-cooled to the required temperature before loading begins, minimizing thermal shock to sensitive cargo and helping products stay within spec from the moment they're loaded.
We combine continuous temperature monitoring, pre-cooling protocols, and documented chain-of-custody handling to support the strict regulatory and quality standards pharma and biotech shippers require.
Real-time monitoring means excursions are flagged as they happen, not after delivery, allowing our team to respond quickly, whether that means adjusting the unit, alerting the shipper, or taking corrective action to protect the cargo.
