Rio Grande Valley and Laredo reefer freight FAQ

When is Rio Grande Valley produce season?

Our volume here runs heaviest from November through March. January is the busiest month, and June through August are the lightest.

What happens if a truck falls through on my Rio Grande Valley load?

We cover it. Between our own reefer fleet and a vetted carrier network, we have more than one way to recover the load, and you hear about it from us first, not your receiver.

Do you haul freight across the border?

No. We pick up on the U.S. side after product crosses at Pharr and Laredo, most often at a cold-storage warehouse, and many loads add a second stop.

How do you handle South Texas heat at the dock?

Produce waiting at the dock suffers in the heat, so we time arrivals to your pickup window.

How will I know what's on the truck?

We send end-of-day case counts, so you know how much product is headed your way the same day it loads.

Do you load in Laredo as well as McAllen and Pharr?

Yes. Laredo is our busiest pickup town in this region, and we also load in McAllen, Pharr, Mission, Donna, Edinburg, Harlingen, Hidalgo, Weslaco, San Juan and Brownsville.
