A reefer holds the temperature your freight needs from pickup to delivery, cold or warm. Long Road Transportation runs reefer trucking on its own refrigerated trailers across the Pacific Northwest, carrying everything from frozen food at sub-zero to produce that rides just above freezing.

How Long Road keeps refrigerated freight on temperature
On a reefer load the clock and the thermostat both matter, so Long Road runs its own units with an in-house dispatch team watching both from the dock to the receiver.
Asset-based reefer fleet
Long Road runs its own reefer vans and the refrigeration units on them, serviced in its own repair shop, so a trailer that holds temperature is ready when you book it.
Cooling and heating to a set range
The reefer holds whatever set point the load needs, from frozen food at sub-zero up to produce or pharmaceuticals that ride at a higher temperature. The unit cools or warms to keep the freight in range for the whole run.
Temperature watched to delivery
Long Road pre-cools the trailer before loading and tracks the temperature through transit, so the cold chain holds the whole run.
REEFER CAPACITY ON DEMAND
Call dispatch at (425) 800-4609 and Long Road pre-cools its own reefer and holds your set point from pickup to delivery.
Refrigerated trucking moves freight that has to hold a set temperature end to end. Long Road hauls fresh and frozen food, produce, dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other cold-chain cargo, each load run at the temperature the product needs.
Keeping the cold chain unbroken
A reefer load works only if the temperature holds the whole way. Long Road pre-cools the trailer, sets the temperature for the product, and confirms it before the truck rolls. Dispatch tracks the load in transit and lines up the delivery window so the freight comes off while it is still in range. The driver, the dispatcher, and your receiving contact stay in sync the whole way.
KEEP THE COLD CHAIN UNBROKEN
Call (425) 800-4609 for temperature-controlled freight run on Long Road's own refrigerated fleet, watched from the dock to the receiver.
A reefer is the trailer for anything that has to hold a temperature. Dry, non-perishable, palletized freight rides in a dry van, and steel, machinery, or other deck freight rides on open deck. Tell dispatch the product and the temperature it needs and they will set the load up right.
Refrigerated freight that starts at the port
Temperature-sensitive imports often start at the port. Long Road picks up at the Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma through its container drayage service, transloads the cargo into a reefer at temperature, and runs it on for regional or long-haul delivery. Refrigerated trucking is one trailer in Long Road's wider OTR and long-haul network across the Pacific Northwest.

Common questions about refrigerated freight
Why does refrigerated freight cost more to ship?
A reefer runs a refrigeration unit the whole way, which adds fuel and maintenance on top of the haul, so refrigerated rates sit above a dry run. The rate tracks the temperature the load needs, the weight and distance, and the season. Long Road quotes each load on its specifics.
How should I prepare a load for refrigerated transport?
Pre-cool the product to its target temperature before pickup and tell dispatch the set point, because a reefer maintains the temperature it is given and pre-cooling keeps the product in range. Long Road sets the unit and confirms the temperature with you before loading.
Do you ship refrigerated freight cross-border to Canada?
Yes. Refrigerated long-haul lanes run cross-border to Canada, most often into British Columbia, with the unit holding temperature the whole way. See cross-border to Canada for the details.
