Yuma and Imperial Valley reefer freight FAQ
When is Yuma produce season?
November through April. Volume builds in November, stays high from December through March, and drops off in April as our Salinas freight starts.
What happens if a truck falls through on my Yuma 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 offer produce consolidation?
Yes. If you buy from multiple vendors in Yuma, we pick up from each one and consolidate it in Yuma into a single load. You pay for one truck instead of several and receive one delivery.
Do winter storms delay Yuma loads headed east?
They can. Storms on I-40 through Flagstaff and Albuquerque can add a day, so we check the forecast before dispatching east and tell you early if a delivery will move.
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.
Can you move my freight back to Salinas in the spring?
Yes. Our top lanes, Ogden, Nashville and Albuquerque, stay the same when production moves, so we plan your last Yuma loads and first Salinas Valley loads together.
What are your most common lanes out of Yuma and the Imperial Valley?
Our most common Yuma lanes deliver to Ogden, UT; Albuquerque, NM; Nashville, TN; Dallas, TX; Houston, TX; and Sacramento, CA. We cover other destinations too, so send us your lane and we'll quote it.
