Refrigerated freight and reefer trucking
Total Connection arranges refrigerated truckload freight for products with a temperature window: organic peroxides and temperature-controlled chemicals, food ingredients, pharmaceutical intermediates and finished goods, on reefer trailers with the set point documented on the bill of lading and monitored through delivery. US, Canada and Mexico.
What refrigerated freight involves
A reefer trailer holds a set temperature, frozen to heated, using a diesel unit and continuous or cycle operation. The shipper's specification, the pre-cool, the set point and the temperature log are what protect the product and the claim.
Total Connection confirms the specification, tenders carriers with maintained reefer equipment and puts the set point and mode on the bill of lading.

Refrigerated freight FAQ
What temperature range can a reefer hold?
Roughly minus 20 F to 70 F or higher, depending on the unit; the set point and mode are specified on the bill of lading.
Can you move organic peroxides?
Yes. Class 5.2 peroxides with control temperatures move on reefer equipment with carriers approved for the class.
Do I get a temperature log?
Yes. Reefer telematics or a recorder log is provided on request as part of the proof of delivery.
Is continuous or cycle mode better?
Continuous mode for products with tight tolerances or that generate heat; cycle mode for stable frozen product where fuel savings matter. We set it from your specification.
