What Is Refrigerated LTL Shipping?

Refrigerated LTL — less than truckload — means your perishable freight shares trailer space with other temperature-controlled shipments running at the same temperature. You pay only for the space your freight occupies, not the entire trailer.

Each trailer runs at one temperature — either chilled or frozen. Your freight consolidates with other shipments moving at the same temperature requirement, keeping your cold chain intact from pickup to delivery.

Your shipment is loaded once and delivered point-to-point. We never transload your freight between trucks or warehouses. From pickup to delivery, your product stays in the same trailer at the same temperature.

How Refrigerated LTL Works

Walk through our process step by step — from quote request to on-time delivery.

Chilled or Frozen — One Temperature Per Trailer

Refrigerated LTL runs one temperature range per trailer. Your freight consolidates with other shipments moving at the same temperature — chilled freight with chilled, frozen freight with frozen. No mixing, no compromise.

Need to ship both frozen and chilled freight together? Ask about our Multi-Temperature Full Truckload service — a premium option that moves multiple temperature zones in a single dedicated trailer.
