Consumer goods, non-perishables, household goods, certain liquid products, and healthcare products can be shipped at any temperature, and do not require more specified transportation. Other times do require more unique traveling conditions, whether they be freezers or refrigerators.

Produce

The American food system has eliminated transparency of the process between where food is grown and how it arrives at the grocery store. Many produce items, primarily fruits, have to be shipped at a regulated temperature across the country. This prevents the fruits from spoiling before they can be consumed in the far reaches of the country. Some fruits are even frozen and thawed multiple times before becoming available for purchase. Typically, these refrigerated trailers operate between 55 and -20 degrees Fahrenheit (per Ship ABCO).

Ice Cream

The majority of the population knows how quickly ice cream has to be eaten on a hot summer day. Obviously, there is no way the sweet dessert can be transported without a temperature-controlled, refrigerated trailer rental. These units make it possible to transport ice cream as far as needed, even through the South, Midwest, or Southwest heats. Many reefer trailer rentals also function as freezer units for goods such as ice cream that require lower temperatures.

Pharmaceuticals

Vaccines are but one pharmaceutical good that requires temperature control for transportation. This has been a key detail in the nationwide administration of not only COVID-19 vaccines but many other vaccines as well. Eye and ear drops, certain antibiotics, and certain tablets also need temperature regulation before arriving at pharmacies. The temperature at which these substances are stored directly affects functionality.
