San Joaquin Valley reefer freight FAQ

When is San Joaquin Valley shipping season?

All year. Our network loads here every month. May through July is the busiest stretch, with a smaller bump in November, and February is the lightest month.

What happens if a truck falls through on my San Joaquin 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.

How do you protect fruit in valley heat?

Valley heat runs past 100°F in summer, so trucks show up pre-cooled to the set point before loading.

Do you cover the whole valley?

Yes. Our pickups run the length of the valley, from Stockton and Lodi in the north to Arvin and Bakersfield in the south.

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.

What are your most common lanes out of the San Joaquin Valley?

Our most common San Joaquin lanes deliver to Denver, CO; Lacey, WA; Dallas, TX; Chicago, IL; and Boise, ID. We cover other destinations too, so send us your lane and we'll quote it.
