About Temperature-Controlled Freight Shipping
It is the hauling of goods that are sensitive to changes in temperature. Controlling a shipment from dock to dock comes with extra complications, but we can guarantee that your auto and your other goods will stay in prime condition throughout their entire journey. We have the resources and knowledge to provide all of your solutions.
Why Use It for Your Vehicle?
If you’re wondering why it is something you should consider, here are some great reasons to enquire about this type today.
During moving, it should be placed in the same conditions as when it is put into storage. We aim to maintain optimal and humidity levels in all of our hauls to:
- Protect its Internal Systems
- Protect it From External Damage
- Protect it During Cold or Humid Weather Conditions
Most professionals recommend that autos be stored in an area that is 70 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. The humidity levels should be between 40% and 50%.
If you know that it 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 it. Our carriers are always happy to discuss specific needs for every auto we ship.
How Does Hauling Work?
It is sometimes referred to as refrigerated freight shipping and uses gensets. A genset is a piece of equipment that converts heat capacity into electrical energy. During hauling, this equipment is run on diesel. While it 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 at all times.
Most vehicles do not require highly regulated moving. Our drivers and haulers are experienced in delivering and have all of the materials and skills to keep it 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.
What Goods Are Moved?
If you are interested in delivering other goods, we may be able to help. Here are some of the goods that typically require conditions during shipment.
- Perishable food items
- Fresh food
- Frozen food
- Beverages
- Medicine and pharmaceuticals
- Artwork
- Electronics
Limitations On Packaging
If you need to use refrigerated freight, you should be prepared for limitations on the amount that can be hauled at one time. In refrigerated freights, an extra layer of insulation is built into the truck, which reduces the space.

What Can Happen To My Auto In A Poorly Controlled Condition?
If you let your car overheat or freeze, this can have a detrimental effect on its condition. Both overheating and freezing can result in a damaged engine. While this is highly unlikely, if it does become damaged, you may find yourself facing a staggering repair bill.
You shouldn’t worry about this happening to your auto when you use A1-AT. However, standard insurance is provided for any shipment to protect against damage that may occur. You can also purchase additional insurance if you wish.
