Set points, protocols and receivers differ by commodity

Temperature-Controlled Truckload Freight by Commodity

Not every cold load is the same load. A pallet of strawberries, a trailer of ice cream and a pharmaceutical shipment each demand different set points, run modes, pre-cool procedures and paperwork. These are the temperature-controlled niches Maas Logistics runs most.

Frequently asked questions

Most fresh vegetables and berries ship at 33–38°F on continuous run, but the receiver's spec always wins. Send us their requirement and we will run to it exactly.

Only when the commodities share a compatible set point. Multi-temp requirements should be split across trailers or discussed with dispatch.

We haul non-controlled pharmaceutical and health-and-beauty freight with continuous recording. Controlled substances require additional arrangements.
