About Temperature-Controlled Freight Shipping

Temperature controlled shipping is the transportation of goods that are sensitive to changes in temperature.

We have the resources and knowledge to provide all of your temperature-controlled shipping solutions.

Why Use Temperature-Controlled Freight Shipping for Your Vehicle?

If you’re wondering why temperature-controlled freight shipping is something you should consider, here are some great reasons to enquire about this type of shipping today.

During shipping, your car should be placed in the same conditions as when it is put into storage. We aim to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels in all of our transports to:

• Protect Your Car’s Internal Systems
• Protect Your Car From External Damage
• Protect Your Car During Cold or Humid Weather Conditions

Most professionals recommend that cars are stored in an area that is 70 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. The humidity levels should be between 40% and 50%.

If you know that your car needs to be stored at a specific temperature for any reason, just let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.

You can also speak to your carrier when they arrive to collect your vehicle. Our carriers are always happy to discuss specific needs for every car we ship.

How Does Temperature-Controlled Shipping Work?

Temperature-controlled shipping, sometimes referred to as refrigerated freight shipping, uses gensets. A genset is a piece of equipment that converts heat capacity into electrical energy. During transport, this equipment is run on diesel. While the transport vehicle is at a standstill, the cargo may be hooked up to another power supply.

Using these two power supplies, your cargo will be kept at a steady, cool temperature for the entire duration of the journey. A monitoring system helps the driver keep track of the temperature at all times.

Most vehicles do not actually require highly regulated temperature-controlled shipping. Our drivers and transporters are experienced in transporting vehicles and have all of the materials and skills to keep your car safe during transit. However, if you are concerned about maintaining a steady temperature during shipment, we will be more than happy to discuss your needs.

Limitations On Refrigerated Freight Packaging

If you need to use refrigerated freight, you should be prepared for limitations on the amount that can be transported at one time. In refrigerated freights, an extra layer of insulation is built into the truck, which reduces the space.

You shouldn’t worry about this happening to your vehicle when you use A-1 Auto Transport. However, standard insurance is provided for any shipment to protect against damage that may occur during shipment. You can also purchase additional insurance if you wish.
