A privately owned trucking company in McCook, IL, Select One, Inc., primarily operates east of the Rockies. Select One, Inc., maintains a modern fleet to provide efficient freight solutions, including refrigerated trucks, or trailers, also called “reefers.”
Reefers are used to transport perishable goods. Here are three reasons why hiring a reefer truck is advantageous.
Thermostat-equipped
Many consumer products have strict FDA requirements, such as temperature consistency. With a reefer, the driver is in complete control of the truck’s thermostat. Modern trucks are typically equipped with an overnight standby mode that helps to keep the internal climate consistent overnight or over long distances.
Increased efficiency
Besides being temperature sensitive, many perishables generally tend to have limited shelf lives. This makes fast and timely deliveries critical. Experienced trucking companies ensure efficient routing by fitting their fleets with GPS systems.
Versatility in delivery
Refrigerated trucks are versatile, no matter your industry or the size of your cargo. Because they are equipped with temperature control, reefers can deliver different products including highly perishable items like flowers.
