Temperature Controlled - Balboa Logistics

Temperature Controlled Shipments

We've got the refrigerated trucks. You've got the freight.

Reefer shipping, which is another way of saying, refrigerated shipping is the way customers ship temp-controlled goods. If your freight is temperature sensitive this is the route we take. Balboa’s tight knit network that’s been curated throughout the years provides nothing but excellence with our reefer services.

No worries about having to bring on new reefer carriers every time your shipping lanes go through changes.

What's a Reefer?

Reefer is a refrigerated truck. Most commonly being 53 foot if they are traveling out of state. Most of the ones you see in the city are 26 to 30 feet.

Goods like ice cream, fish, and certain chemicals must be transported via reefer trailer.

Can You Ship LTL?

Absolutely. Getting the best bang for your buck through Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping can be a smart way to reduce shipping costs.

However it is not always recommended. Certain goods in our opinion, should not be mixed with other goods.

Demands For Refrigerated Shipping

Demands for shipping perishable goods are usually highest during the summer times when farming is at its peak.

However, 26-30 foot trailers are more consistently used for shorter trips throughout cities.

Tips for Reefer Shipping

Load quickly
Set Correct Temperature
Monitor The Goods
Load & Offload Quickly

Reefer trucks have monitoring technologies in their trucks that allow them to always be sure that the product is safe. Ensuring the drivers equipment is in tip top condition – is crucial

Competitive pricing and reliable shipping shouldn't be risky

Good service is consistent service. Our last refrigerated shipment together feels like the first shipment. Here at Balboa, we understand. Consistency doesn’t mean you have to pay higher rates for good service.

We ship back and forth to all the main hubs in the West, Mid West, Central, and Southeast.

Consistent service means you work with the same carriers that have proven to be worthy of your business. We rarely post freight on load boards – But when we must. We take extreme vigilance of bad actors. We have the proper tech in place to monitor bad carriers.
