Temperature-Controlled Shipping You Can Trust

Temperature-sensitive freight requires more than a truck — it demands precision, reliability, and proactive communication from pickup to delivery. Whether you’re transporting produce, frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, or temperature-regulated consumer goods, you need a partner who understands the critical nature of cold chain logistics.

Swivel Capacity Solutions provides secure, dependable Refrigerated Full Truckload (Reefer) Services, supported by vetted carriers, continuous temperature monitoring, and strict compliance standards.

When your freight must stay cold, safe, and on time, Swivel keeps your supply chain moving.

What Is Refrigerated Full Truckload Shipping?

Refrigerated (reefer) shipping refers to freight transported in insulated, climate-controlled trailers capable of maintaining specific temperatures throughout the entire journey.

Reefer FTL is essential when your freight must stay:

• Frozen 
• Chilled 
• Ambient-controlled 
• Stable at a specific temperature range 

Common use cases include:

• Produce 
• Dairy & perishables 
• Frozen foods 
• Pharmaceuticals & medical supplies 
• Specialty chemicals 
• Beverages 
• Floral & nursery products 

Swivel ensures your shipment maintains the exact temperature profile from origin to destination.
