That Cloud of Cold Air?
That's Your Product Protected.

When a driver cracks a reefer door below 0°F and the fog billows out that's a verified setpoint that held the entire run, a pre-cool that went full time, and a unit that never missed a beat.

-10°
Frozen Setpoint

Driver locks in the target on the unit panel. The reefer maintains it continuously; no babysitting required en route.

Forced Air
Circulation

Multi-zone airflow keeps temp uniform wall-to-wall. No hot spots, no dead air pockets. Cold floor to ceiling.

The Driver's Process

How We Keep It Cold
Every Single Run

01

Set Target Temp

Driver programs the setpoint directly on the reefer unit control panel. Dual-zone capability lets front and rear compartments run different temps simultaneously.

02

Pre-Cool the Box

Trailer runs a minimum 2-hour pre-cool before any product touches the floor. No warm freight goes into a cold box period.

03

Load & Verify

Product loaded once the trailer doors seal to the dock. Air probe thermometers verify return air temp matches setpoint before doors seal.

04

Monitor Remotely

Dispatch and the customer both receive live access to trailer temps via telematics. Any excursion triggers an instant alert to the driver and dispatch.
