Temperature Controlled Transportation

Temperature Controlled Transportation Services Henderson, NV

At US Express Carriers, we provide comprehensive temperature controlled transportation services for temperature-sensitive freight shipped anywhere across the continental United States.

If you need to transport a shipment with specific temperature requirements, US Express Carriers has the solution - our refrigerated trailers (also known as reefers) are capable of maintaining temperatures ranging from -20°F to +100°F throughout the entire journey.

How Reefer Trailers Differ from Standard Dry Vans

Reefer equipment is built specifically for temperature-sensitive freight

Construction materials. Reefer trailers are built with insulated metal and fiberglass walls - rather than the wood commonly used in dry vans - to maximize temperature containment and prevent odor transfer between loads.

Weight and capacity. Due to the insulation and refrigeration equipment, reefer trailers are heavier than dry vans, which results in a slightly lower maximum cargo weight capacity per load.

Newer fleet. Because refrigeration units place additional wear on the truck's systems, US Express Carriers maintains a newer average fleet age for our reefer trucks to ensure reliable performance on every temperature-sensitive haul.

Team driver capability. For long-distance or time-critical refrigerated shipments, US Express Carriers can deploy team drivers - two drivers rotating in and out so the truck keeps moving without interruption, protecting both your delivery deadline and your cargo's temperature integrity.

Ideal Temperature Ranges for Different Freight Types

US Express Carriers can maintain a wide range of temperature settings to match the specific requirements of your cargo.

Room Temperature (59°F to 77°F)

Ideal for products that are sensitive to extreme heat or cold but do not require refrigeration, such as bananas, pineapples, and other tropical produce.

Cold (35°F to 46°F)

Used for fresh produce, meat, beer and wine, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals that require chilled but not frozen conditions during transit.

Frozen (14°F to -13°F)

Appropriate for fish, ice cream, frozen fruits and vegetables, and other products that must remain fully frozen throughout the shipment.

Deep Freeze (-20°F to 32°F)

Required for biopharmaceuticals, certain vaccines, and other highly temperature-sensitive products that demand sub-zero storage and transport conditions.

Benefits of Temperature Controlled Transportation with US Express Carriers

Consistent, reliable climate control. Our reefer units maintain precise temperature settings throughout the entire trip, ensuring your cargo arrives in the same condition it left in.

Fast team expedited options. For urgent refrigerated shipments, our team driver service keeps the truck moving around the clock, combining speed with uninterrupted climate control for maximum peace of mind.
