What reefer container trucking is

A reefer is a refrigerated shipping container with its own cooling unit, used for food, produce and other freight that has to stay at a set temperature. Reefer drayage is the truck move between the port terminal and your cold storage facility, processing plant or distribution centre.

With perishable freight, time matters more than anything. The faster a reefer moves from the terminal to your dock, the less risk to the product inside.

How reefer moves work with Ferndale

  1. Send us the details. Share the container number, size, pickup terminal, delivery address, what's inside and the set temperature.
  2. We plan the pickup. Dispatch books the pickup and a delivery window that lines up with your receiving team.
  3. We pick up and deliver. Our driver collects the reefer at the terminal and takes it straight to your facility.
  4. We return the empty. After unloading, the empty goes back.

Dispatch keeps you updated along the way, so your receiving team is ready when the reefer arrives.
