Temperature Controlled Trucks

The temperature inside our reefers is adjusted to the unique needs of your produce cargo.

Our reefers are designed to keep your produce intact to avoid spoilage on the dock in transit. We will adjust the temperature to suit your unique needs. 

For example, the ideal temp for transporting vegetables is between 0°C and 4.4°C (32-40°F), fruit is between 2°C to 4°C (35-40°F) to avoid respiration.

Fresh Produce We Transport

The fragile nature of fruits and vegetables means they can’t be shipped the same way.

The industry deems produce with a short shelf life of a day or two, as light density. Produce that lasts 4 to 6 days is medium density. Crops with a long shelf life of over seven days rank in the high-density category. Examples of High-density produce (shelf life of 7+ days) we transport:

  • Onions
  • Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Apples
  • Cabbage
  • Garlic
  • Celery

At ET Transport, we can help transport high, medium or low density crops promptly and efficiently.

It is with pleasure and ease that I submit this recommendation email for ET Transportation. ET has been servicing Eastman Kodak successfully for 3+ years and has done so with great success.

OTP has been at 99% and they have yet to let us down. Even during times of additional volume or late notice, ET will come through with support and at fair cost. Besides good performance, their integrity is extremely high and they stand by their commitments. This praise comes at no easy feat as we have many requirements on our lanes including: Bonded, CSA, Logistics trailers, Reefer and Haz shipping.
