Our drivers are backed by a 24-hour support team, facilitating real-time communication and proactive problem-solving. With our control tower overseeing all active refrigerated shipments, we can swiftly address challenges, ensuring seamless operations.
- Specialized Equipment and Training - Our drivers, equipped with specialized training and cutting-edge equipment, ensure consistent temperature, humidity and cargo monitoring. This results in reduced spoilage, cargo rejection and claims, safeguarding your products and bottom line.
