Dry Van / Reefer
What Is Dry Van and Reefer Transportation?
Dry Van: A dry van trailer is an enclosed box used to transport non-perishable items. It offers protection from weather and road debris, making it a staple for everyday freight like clothing, electronics, paper goods, and packaged food.
Reefer (Refrigerated Truck): A reefer trailer is equipped with a built-in cooling system, ideal for temperature-sensitive goods like produce, dairy, meat, and pharmaceuticals. The temperature is controlled digitally and monitored throughout the delivery process to meet compliance standards and preserve product quality.
Both are essential in the supply chain, and A2E Cartage is proud to offer both as part of our local and regional logistics solutions.
