Continuous run or cycle sentry — which should I choose?

Continuous run keeps the reefer engine running for a constant, tight temperature and is standard for fresh produce, dairy and pharma. Cycle sentry cycles the unit on and off to hold a set range, which saves fuel and works well for frozen freight already at temperature. When in doubt, receivers of fresh product almost always require continuous.

Do you provide temperature logs?

Yes, every temperature-controlled load ships with recorded data available on request, and we can pre-set the interval your receiver requires.

Are you FSMA compliant?

Our reefer operation follows the FDA's Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food rule: pre-cooling, sanitation, temperature control and records are documented for each load.

Why shippers use us for this

Pre-cooled before every load

Trailers are pre-cooled to your set point before arrival, so product never sees a temperature spike at the dock.

Documented cold chain

Continuous temperature recording and downloadable reports satisfy receiver requirements and FSMA sanitary transport recordkeeping.

Produce-season capacity

We plan the South Texas and Mexico produce seasons around our reefer fleet, so capacity exists when spot rates spike.

Frozen through fresh

Deep frozen (-10°F to -20°F), chilled (32–38°F) and controlled ambient loads all run on the same fleet.
