Temperature-controlled 5-ton capacity for loads that can't take chances: refrigerated and frozen food, pharmaceuticals, and temp-sensitive goods, monitored door to door across Manitoba. Tailgate-equipped, so cold freight reaches the back door of a store or clinic, not just a loading dock.
Before your reefer shipment is collected
- Provide the shipper-specified temperature and handling instructions. Ask dispatch to confirm the requirements for this shipment.
- Have the packaged freight ready for pickup. Supply the piece count, packaged dimensions and weight; flag any special handling needs.
- Confirm pickup and delivery windows, receiving contacts and loading access at both addresses.
- Tell dispatch whether a dock, forklift or tailgate is needed. Ask who will load and unload the freight and what equipment is available.
- Ask dispatch what temperature checks, records and arrangements for delays or changes should be confirmed before booking.
