Transport Services With Real-Time Monitoring & Reliable Delivery

Our temperature-controlled freight services are designed to reduce claims and protect the condition of perishable goods. We use telematics to track temperature in real-time, giving our dispatch team visibility into any temperature fluctuations or trailer alerts before they become an issue.

This proactive approach to temperature controlled transportation supports shelf life, protects product integrity, and gives customers peace of mind. From cold storage transfer points to last-mile delivery, our team manages the full process with accuracy and accountability.

Transport advantages include:

  • Customer Service: Available 24/7 to respond to telematics alerts or service questions.
  • Environmental Conditions: Systems adjust to outside weather and trailer door openings to maintain stability.
  • Loading & Unloading: Handled with procedures that limit exposure time for temperature-sensitive products.
  • Maintain the Temperature: Digital temperature logs track internal conditions during transit to confirm freight was handled correctly.
  • Transport Services: Available across the continental U.S. and Canada for food production and chemical clients.

Fresh & Frozen Goods Transport FAQs

What Types of Goods Require Temperature Controlled Trucking Services?

Refrigerated trucking services are essential for transporting goods that must remain within a precise temperature range during transit. This includes perishable goods, temperature-sensitive products, and any item that can spoil, degrade, or become unsafe due to exposure to heat or cold. Common freight includes dairy, meat, seafood, produce, frozen meals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. These products often have strict regulatory requirements and short shelf lives, making temperature stability critical. By using refrigerated trailers, we help ensure product integrity, protect your supply chain, and support on-time delivery with minimal risk of spoilage.

What Temperature Ranges Can Sharco Trailers Maintain?

Our refrigerated trailer fleet is equipped to maintain various temperature zones to serve a wide range of freight. These temperature ranges are digitally controlled and tracked in real-time to meet regulatory and product-specific shipping requirements.    
  • Adjustable Settings: Our systems can be calibrated to match the specific requirements of each product type.
  • Ambient-Sensitive Freight: Items such as chocolate, film, and certain chemicals are protected from heat exposure using ventilated settings.
  • Chilled Freight: Ranges from 33 F to 39 F, ideal for dairy, fresh produce, and refrigerated meals.
  • Frozen Freight: Maintained between -10 F and 0 F for frozen food and select chemicals that require deep freezing.
  • Temperature Logs: Each shipment is tracked with automated logs that can be shared with customers to verify compliance.

Our telematics system allows us to monitor these temperature ranges continuously, respond to fluctuations, and maintain ideal conditions throughout transport.

How Does Sharco Reduce the Risk of Temperature-Related Claims?

We minimize temperature-related claims by combining modern equipment with constant monitoring and proactive response. To reduce mechanical issues, every refrigerated trailer in our fleet is thoroughly inspected and replaced every 3--4 years. Our telematics platform monitors internal temperature and alerts our dispatch team immediately if a deviation occurs. This allows our team to take action before freight is affected. During loading and unloading, strict procedures are followed to reduce exposure and preserve the required temperature range. These operational safeguards protect temperature-sensitive goods, maintain product quality, and prevent rejected deliveries due to improper handling.

What Industries Benefit Most From Temperature Controlled Freight?

Temperature-controlled freight supports a wide range of industries that depend on climate stability, freshness, or product safety. These industries require a combination of cold storage, telematics, and proper handling to meet delivery expectations and regulatory demands.

  • Agriculture: Ships livestock by-products, farm produce, and specialty crops with limited shelf life.
  • Chemicals: Includes sensitive or hazardous materials that react to temperature changes or require climate control.
  • Food Production: Moves fresh and frozen ingredients, processed meals, and temperature-sensitive food goods.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Transports vaccines, medications, lab materials, and biotech products with strict cold chain requirements.
  • Retail & Grocery: Supports in-store produce, meats, frozen foods, and seasonal perishable inventory.

Our refrigerated trucking services provide each of these industries with dependable cold chain solutions that protect product quality from origin to destination.

How Does Sharco Maintain Freight Stability in Changing Weather Conditions?

Weather and external environmental conditions often affect freight temperature, especially during long-haul routes, extreme heat waves, or winter storms. Sharco Express uses insulated refrigerated trailers with real-time telematics to maintain internal climate stability, even as outside temperatures shift. We monitor for door openings, humidity changes, and power draw to catch potential issues early. Our trailers can adapt their cooling systems during loading, transit, and unloading to maintain consistent internal temperatures. This allows us to protect perishable freight, avoid spoilage, and ensure your goods arrive in proper condition regardless of the season or weather patterns.
