Temperature-Controlled / Refrigerated Freight Shipping

Temperature-sensitive cargo requires specialized care, so we take every necessary precaution to help ensure your freight arrives in the same condition in which we receive it. From scheduling and handling to equipment selection, our experienced team considers your shipment's specific requirements at every stage. Whether you’re shipping a single pallet or a full truckload, we tailor your temperature-controlled logistics to your freight rather than forcing it into a one-size-fits-all process. 

We handle a wide range of temperature-sensitive commercial freight, including perishable goods, wine and spirits, and other specialty cargo requiring careful temperature management throughout transportation.

For every shipment, we consider the product type, required temperature range, and delivery timeline to develop a transportation strategy tailored to your freight.

With more than 50 years in the transportation industry, our company is backed by an executive management team with more than 150 years of combined experience in specialized logistics. We put this depth of knowledge to work on every shipment, applying proven expertise to help ensure your freight is handled efficiently, carefully, and reliably from pickup through delivery.

Temperature-sensitive freight requires specialized care before it ever reaches the truck. Our facilities are equipped to maintain the appropriate conditions and protect your shipment from the moment it arrives until it is ready for transport.

Our warehouse features a dedicated 1,500-square-foot temperature-controlled cooler staging area where qualifying temperature-sensitive freight remains in a controlled environment while awaiting loading. This added layer of protection helps preserve product integrity and ensures cold-sensitive shipments receive the careful handling they require from arrival through departure.

Once freight leaves the staging area, it is loaded onto refrigerated trailers for transport to its destination. We consider your cargo characteristics, shipment volume, route, and delivery timeline to develop a transportation plan tailored to your specific freight. With GMG Transwest, every shipment receives a logistics strategy built around its unique requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. 

GMG Transwest operates weekly lanes to California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. Trucks depart from our New York or New Jersey warehouse, giving shippers with recurring routes the flexibility to pair established lanes with the specialized handling their temperature-sensitive freight requires.

Temperature-sensitive freight requires careful planning to arrive safely and on schedule. We consider pickup timing, transportation requirements, route conditions, and your cargo's specific needs when planning each shipment. This approach helps keep complex, temperature-sensitive freight moving efficiently and reliably from origin to destination.

With more than 50 years of transportation experience, a dedicated 1,500-square-foot temperature-controlled cooler staging area, established weekly lanes across the country, and specialized experience handling perishables, wine, and other temperature-sensitive cargo, GMG Transwest can manage even complex freight logistics.
