Benefits of Refrigerated Semi Trailers
The first refrigerated railroad car was patented in 1867 and it created a revolution in food. America was expanding westward and hungry people could finally have it all. They could have Texas beef in New York and Wisconsin dairy products out west. Refrigerated transport has revolutionized the way that we eat and it enables companies to distribute fresh products from sea to shining sea. Here’s a look at just a few of the great ways you can use refrigerated Semi Trailers for your physical distribution operation.

Transporting Fresh Products
In 1924, A fur trader working in Canada named Clarence Birdseye observed that the fresh fish that the local Inuit caught would freeze shortly after they were pulled from the water. He later discovered that the frozen fish was just as tasty if it was thawed out months later. The frozen food industry was born.
Consumers have become much more food-conscious in recent decades and they insist on eating fresh. Refrigerated trucks feature state-of-the-art equipment that can safely transport fresh products without freezing. Consumers now want to know about their food sourcing from stable to table and buy from local farms. Refrigerated transport enables you to expand your consumer base and it connects you with customers who are willing to pay a premium for quality produce.
Shipping Dry or Refrigerated Goods
Your refrigerated semi trailer can haul both dry and refrigerated products, and that's very important in the online shipping era. Consumers now buy just about everything online, and you can carry all of their products in the same truck. Over $600 billion in freight is shipped across America each year and you’ll have the versatility to carry any type of cargo.
You'll also be able to offer specialized refrigerated transport services for critical medical supplies and any other products that must be kept in a very specific temperature range. Your refrigeration system offers a lot of temperature control and runs quietly at a consistent temperature around the clock.
Managing Costs
Even a small percentage of spoiled freight can deeply impact your bottom line. A refrigerated semi trailer will protect critical freight from spoilage and other damage. The ability to consistently offer just-in-time delivery is absolutely critical to every trucking and shipping business. Customer loyalty starts when they know just how dependable that you can be!
