Knoxville, Tennessee, US: Expedite All has launched a service for shippers to access refrigerated vans and trucks in the US.
“We recognized that shippers had a need for dedicated and expedite small vehicle transportation that was not being met in the fragmented expedite marketplace,” said Alex Winston, president, Expedite All.
“With Reefer Van Network, our goal is to bring the same spirit of innovation and convenience to the refrigerated space. By bringing together one of the largest networks of experienced small vehicle owner-operators on one online platform, we have created a competitive market that reduces cost, improves service and makes it easier for shippers to book the reefer vehicles they need, when they need them.”
Reefer Van Network requires all vehicles must be less than ten years old and meet stringent temperature control and monitoring requirements. Every vehicle available on Reefer Van Network undergoes periodic temperature control experiments to ensure that refrigeration capabilities are never in doubt, the company says.
Additionally, each vehicle in the network is required to install a temperature data logger provided by Reefer Van Network to ensure the reefer unit maintains cargo at the appropriate temperature at all times. Reefer Van Network vehicles are most commonly used to transport pharmaceutical products, non-hazmat chemicals and adhesives, ingredients and perishables including flowers and foods including meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and juices.
Expedite All uses Truck Map and Freight Rate Calculator technology and a network of more than 1,000 small vehicle carriers to offer shippers a new transportation option: short- to long-haul expedite services at rates up to 10% lower than traditional expedite.
