How to choose a Miami cold storage partner
Match the temperature range to your product (refrigerated vs deep-freeze vs blast), confirm USDA, FDA, or bonded/FTZ status if you import food or pharma, and check proximity to PortMiami, Port Everglades, or MIA. Just as important is how fast your reefer containers get from the terminal to the freezer — every hour on a hot dock is risk. That handoff is where an asset-based drayage carrier earns its keep.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between refrigerated and frozen storage?
Refrigerated storage holds goods at chilled temperatures (often 33–40°F) for fresh produce, dairy, and pharma, while frozen storage keeps product well below freezing for meat, seafood, and frozen foods. Many Miami facilities offer both.
Why does port proximity matter for cold storage?
Perishables degrade with every hour out of temperature. Facilities and carriers close to PortMiami and Port Everglades shorten the reefer container’s exposure between the terminal and the cold room.
Can Go Freight store frozen product?
Go Freight specializes in reefer drayage and bonded warehousing that connect the port to the cold chain. For deep-freeze storage, it works alongside dedicated cold-storage operators while handling the asset-based transport and bonded logistics.
