Alpha Petroleum provides reefer trucking and temperature-controlled freight across California and a broader freight network. Refrigerated trailers move perishable and temperature-sensitive cargo, from frozen meat and fresh produce to packaged foods, florals, and pharmaceuticals, with dispatch, tracking, and delivery around your temperature requirements.
Shipping a temperature-sensitive load?Discuss your refrigerated load
Reefer trucking is refrigerated truckload transportation for cargo that has to stay within a temperature range from pickup through delivery. Alpha Petroleum runs refrigerated trailers with active cooling systems for cold, frozen, and other temperature-sensitive goods, and coordinates the load tendering, dispatch, tracking, and delivery around your cargo temperature requirements.
Refrigerated freight protects product quality and freight integrity for perishable and temperature-sensitive commodities. Reefer trucking is one part of Alpha Petroleum truckload and freight logistics, and can be coordinated with dry van, bulk trucking, and other truckload logistics when a shipping program needs more than one equipment type. Equipment, capacity, transit, and cargo acceptance are confirmed after reviewing the load details.
Reefer trailers carry a range of perishable and temperature-sensitive freight. The categories below reflect the cargo this service already covers. Final equipment, capacity, and cargo acceptance depend on the specific commodity, temperature range, quantity, and lane.
The right equipment, temperature setpoint, and handling depend on the specific commodity and lane. Share the cargo type and temperature requirement so Alpha Petroleum can review the load. Call (951) 545-7374 to discuss a shipment.
Select the cargo that most closely matches your shipment. Alpha Petroleum can review the commodity, temperature range, quantity, and lane before confirming the service.
