What Is Reefer Freight?
Reefer freight refers to goods that must be transported under specific temperature conditions using a refrigerated trailer, commonly called a “reefer.” These trailers are equipped with built-in refrigeration units that maintain a controlled climate throughout the transit process — whether frozen, chilled, or heated, depending on cargo needs.
Unlike dry vans, reefer trailers require additional compliance standards and monitoring to prevent spoilage, contamination, or product rejection — especially in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade shipments.

The Pete’s Ultimate Movers Advantage
Food-Grade Equipment
We maintain a fleet of modern, food-grade refrigerated trailers. Each unit is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between loads to meet USDA and FDA sanitation standards — ensuring no cross-contamination occurs.
Temperature Control Assurance
Temperature integrity is non-negotiable. Our reefer units are tested before dispatch, monitored during transit, and logged throughout the journey. Our dispatch team tracks equipment performance live and intervenes immediately if any fluctuations are detected.
Highly Trained Drivers
Reefer freight isn’t for rookies. Our drivers are trained in proper cold chain handling, trailer operation, seal management, and load checks to prevent claims, delays, or compliance issues.
FSMA-Compliant Operations
We follow Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) protocols for all food-related reefer loads — including trailer cleanliness, loading/unloading procedures, and digital recordkeeping.
Real-Time Visibility
You don’t have to guess where your shipment is or what the trailer temperature is. Our tracking technology gives you access to real-time location data and climate readouts, giving you peace of mind — from door to door.
