The typical reefer trailer is either 48’ or 53’ long and insulated. Its temperature-control unit will accommodate frozen, chilled, or even warm temperatures ranging from -20°F to +90°F. That means a refrigerated truck can carry a load consisting of any perishable goods such as foods, beverages, medical supplies, or a product that needs to be kept at higher-than-average temperatures in a cold climate. Specific examples of climate-controlled truck loads that our Portland refrigerated freight brokerage can help with include:

When you choose American Freight, we strive to provide you with an experience beyond that you’ll get from other Portland refrigerated trucking companies. Our values as a company are:
Refrigerated or “Reefer” Trucking refers to the type of trailer used to deliver temperature-sensitive goods. Refrigerated trailers have a cooling unit which is usually powered by a small diesel engine.
“Reefer” refers to a refrigerated trailer or truck/trailer combination.
They are normally powered by a separate diesel engine connected directly to the trailer. That means the temperature control depends on this unit and not on the truck. The truck can be disconnected from the trailer and the low temperatures maintained as required.
