How to choose a reefer trucking company in Miami
Reefer freight is unforgiving, so prioritize carriers that own their equipment, can move on short notice, and maintain the cold chain without gaps. For imported perishables, the most critical link is reefer drayage: getting the powered container off the terminal and to cold storage before temperature or demurrage becomes a problem. An asset-based carrier with its own trucks and chassis, plus port intelligence, has a real advantage here.
Frequently asked questions
What is reefer drayage?
Reefer drayage is the short-haul move of a refrigerated container from the port terminal to a warehouse or distribution point, keeping the unit powered (often by a genset) so cargo stays at temperature.
Why is reefer trucking more expensive than dry trucking?
Refrigeration units, gensets, fuel, temperature monitoring, and faster turn times all add cost, and the cargo is more perishable and higher-risk than dry freight.
Can a reefer carrier also store my perishables?
Many can. Providers that pair refrigerated transport with cold or bonded warehousing let you move and store perishables under one roof, reducing handoffs.
