Reefer Dispatch Services
Reefer Truck Dispatch Services
Freight Girlz provides reefer truck dispatch services for produce, frozen, dairy, meat, and pharmaceutical freight — with strict appointment discipline, cold-chain awareness, and no forced dispatch.
Reefer freight isn’t just about rate — it’s about timing, documentation, and temperature integrity. A single missed appointment, wrong set-point, or missing lumper receipt can turn a good load into a claim. Our reefer dispatch process is built around cold-chain discipline: confirmed instructions, tighter check-calls, and clean paperwork so you get paid fast.

Better RPM on Reefer Loads
Reefer freight often pays a premium because it’s time-sensitive and compliance-heavy. We negotiate accessorials up front and push back on lowball offers.
Less Dwell, Fewer Surprises
We confirm FCFS vs appointment, gate hours, lumper rules, and receiving notes so you don’t get stuck at the dock.
Carrier-First Strategy
You set your lanes, home-time goals, deadhead limits, and rate floors — we execute the plan and keep you moving.
How Our Reefer Truck Dispatch Works
Step-by-step process
- Fast setup: reefer specs, lanes, schedule, temp ranges, and goals.
- Load sourcing: vetted brokers + shipper programs aligned to your plan.
- Negotiation: RPM goals + detention/layover/lumper terms confirmed in writing.
- Paperwork: RCs, BOL/POD, lumper receipts, and temp notes organized.
- Dispatch + reload plan: next move queued early to reduce downtime.
What we verify (cold chain)
- Set-point + mode: continuous vs start/stop per shipper SOP.
- Pre-cool + washout: instructions confirmed before pickup.
- Seals + counts: seal numbers and BOL details tracked.
- Lumper rules: approvals, receipts, and billing documentation.
- Receiving windows: appointment times, FCFS notes, and gate hours.
This is how we reduce claims risk and protect your pay.
Why Reefer Dispatch Works So Well
Premium Freight Demand
Food supply chains run year-round. Reefer loads stay active even when some spot freight slows down.
Higher Complexity = Higher Pay
Temperature control, tight windows, and documentation raise the bar — and often raise the rate too.
Fewer “Rookie” Mistakes
We prevent common reefer issues like missed pre-cool notes, wrong set-points, or missing lumper receipts.
Reefer Commodities We Dispatch
Common temperature-controlled freight
- Fresh produce & agriculture (tight windows, higher claims risk)
- Frozen foods & ice cream (strict temp tolerance)
- Dairy & beverage (appointment discipline)
- Meat & protein (handling notes + documentation)
- Pharmaceutical & medical freight (higher compliance expectations)
Why commodities matter
Each commodity has its own set-point, tolerance range, and shipper SOP. We track instructions, confirm pre-cool requirements, and document exceptions to reduce claims risk.
