Temperature Controlled
Continuous temperature integrity from origin to dock. Frozen to ambient, multi-temp, FSMA-compliant, with data-logged proof.
Reefer freight where the cold chain has to hold, every mile.
Refrigerated trailers (“reefers”) maintain set-point temperature from -20°F (deep frozen) up to 70°F (climate-controlled ambient) using diesel-powered refrigeration units (Carrier, Thermo King). The FSMA Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food Rule (21 CFR Part 1, Subpart O) requires a written carrier agreement, pre-cooled trailer verification, continuous temperature logging, sanitized trailer between loads, and corrective action procedures. Qeep’s reefer carriers are FSMA-compliant, GDP-trained for pharma where required, and equipped with continuous-monitoring telematics that push temp data to your account in real time.
From quote to POD, step by step.
Quote with set-point + commodity
Tell us the temperature, commodity, and whether you need multi-temp or single-temp. We quote with FSMA-compliant carriers only.
Trailer wash + pre-cool verification
Carrier washes trailer between loads (organic-certified wash if your commodity requires). Pre-cools to set point before pickup — driver documents wash + pre-cool temp before loading.
Loaded pulp-temp check
Pulp temperature of the cargo (not just air temp) is verified at loading and recorded on the BOL. Catches pre-loaded warm freight before it costs you a claim.
Continuous logging in transit
Reefer unit + telematics push set-point and actual temp every 5-15 minutes to a temp log. Alerts trigger if temp deviates >2°F from set-point for >15 minutes.
Delivery with temp report
Signed POD + complete temp log (CSV or PDF) pushed to your account. Pulp temp re-verified at delivery if your SOP requires.
