In today’s fast-paced supply chain landscape, the demand for reliable and efficient refrigerated shipping services has never been higher. Whether you’re a food manufacturer, pharmaceutical company, or floral distributor, temperature-sensitive goods require specialized transportation solutions to maintain quality and compliance. That’s where Carlton Logistics comes in—a trusted provider of refrigerated freight services with hubs in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York, and the capability to serve clients nationwide.
Carlton Logistics understands that when it comes to refrigerated shipping, there’s no margin for error. Products must be delivered on time, at the correct temperature, and in pristine condition. With years of industry expertise, state-of-the-art technology, and a commitment to customer satisfaction, Carlton Logistics is setting the gold standard in cold chain logistics across the United States.
What Are Refrigerated Shipping Services?
Refrigerated shipping, also known as cold chain logistics, involves the transportation of perishable and temperature-sensitive goods in vehicles equipped with temperature control systems. These goods include:
- Perishable food and beverages (meat, dairy, produce, frozen foods)
- Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies (vaccines, medications, test kits)
- Floral products and plants
- Specialty chemicals
- Cosmetics and beauty products
The success of refrigerated shipping hinges on maintaining specific temperature ranges throughout the entire transportation process, from origin to final delivery. A fluctuation of just a few degrees can cause spoilage or render a product unusable. That’s why partnering with a trusted provider like Carlton Logistics is crucial.
