About Reefer Trucking
Refrigerated trailers transport temperature-sensitive freight including produce, frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Reefer carriers earn premium rates due to equipment costs and strict cold chain compliance.
Reefer Market in the South Central
South Central reefer freight benefits from cross-border produce imports through the Rio Grande Valley and steady protein loads from poultry and cattle operations across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. McAllen and Laredo are major origin points for Mexican produce bound for distribution centers nationwide. The region's warm climate means climate-controlled transport is essential for a wider range of products, extending the addressable market.
