Refrigerated Trucking
One of shipping’s fastest-growing sectors, cold chain logistics involves hauling temperature-controlled goods such as fresh produce, meat, fish, dairy products, flowers, and medication. Refrigerated transport services utilize vehicles with built-in refrigeration systems that maintain products at a pre-determined temperature throughout the journey, safeguarding your temperature-sensitive freight. Equipped with onboard sensors for the cooling system, refrigerated trailers offered by refrigerated trucking companies allow drivers to monitor goods during transit and ensure equipment functions as intended.
When deciding to employ refrigerated transport services, a continuous state of refrigeration is vital, from origin through transportation to market. It is imperative that the cold chain not be broken to ensure products are not spoiled or outright ruined. Refrigerated trailers – commonly referred to in the industry as reefers – protect goods from the heat during the summer months and the cold in winter. In some cases, minor fluctuations in temperature can ultimately damage a product’s shelf life.
REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT SERVICES
As regulations can vary by jurisdiction, when selecting refrigerated trucking companies, ensure they possess a good knowledge of guidelines and protocols for transporting freight requiring an end-to-end, temperature-controlled environment. Due to onboard refrigeration systems and insulation, reefer trailers may have reduced payload capacity. When booking loads, it is imperative to communicate detailed temperature requirements and note that cargo weight and dimensions will impact costs. Proper packaging will ensure precise temperature maintenance and preserve a stable state of goods during transport.
The shipping of perishable products will always remain in high demand, and refrigerated freight carriers enable the safe hauling of these goods across the continent. When either heating or cooling is a requirement, the experienced team at MGA International Logistics offers excellent refrigerated trucking services for all your cold chain logistics, whether it involves domestic or cross-border transit.

Greg Grimes got it done. I had an unusual shipment that he took on seriously and professionally. Greg was very responsive and communicative, worked many different angles to get me a good price, and overcame several logistical challenges. I would definitely use MGA again.
We have made several trips to Toronto for the 2013 PGA Championship and over the course of those trips we have gotten to know the principles of this organization well. They are headquartered in Toronto and are great people. If you need to reach out to them, ask for Greg or Brad Grimes and let them know you heard of them through this note and they will take good care of you.
Can count on MGA for all my shipping requirements. Fantastic personnel and service.
