Temperature handling

Certain commodities require particular temperature handling.

In large parts of North America during the winter months, temperatures regularly fall below zero. Even short periods at a temperature that low can damage certain goods.

To protect from this, carriers from mid-Fall to mid-Spring will offer a service called Protection from Freezing. When that is requested, for a small surcharge, a carrier will ensure that your freight is moved and stored on heated trailers, so its temperature never falls below freezing.

Please contact us via live chat or by emailing support@freightsimple.com if you need to ship something that requires a refrigerated truck (reefer), frozen, or a precise temperature control.
