The refrigerated transport market continues to grow as there is rising demand among consumers for quality, safe food and restaurants are now back in full swing.

The healthcare industry also continues to grow which adds pressure onto the already busy temperature-controlled transportation market. Increased demand and the projected future growth makes the reefer business appealing to many.

While some businesses closed their doors over recent years, some are trying their hand at the refrigerated business. Some companies have gone through acquisitions of a refrigerated company in order to expand their business and participate in the booming market. However, these newcomers could face some bumps in their merger process which can trickle down to the shipper’s experience. In addition, there are regularly revised regulations on transportation of foods and other temperature-sensitive cargo. Knowing the nuances of these regulations as well as following best practices can make a world of difference in maintaining quality control and ensuring a smooth delivery process.
