When it comes to moving perishable food products—especially poultry, dairy, frozen goods, or temperature-sensitive ingredients—temperature-controlled transport isn’t optional; it’s essential. Even a brief exposure to the wrong temperature can compromise product safety, shorten shelf life, or result in costly spoilage claims.
At XTL Logistics USA, we specialize in temperature-controlled truckload freight for the U.S. food industry. With decades of experience and advanced real-time monitoring, we deliver your products safely, compliantly, and on time—no matter the season.
Understanding the Risks in Food Transport
| Stage | Common Risks | XTL Logistics USA Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Loading / Pickup | Trailers not properly pre-cooled or heated before loading can expose products to unsafe conditions. | Our TempSolution trailers are pre-conditioned and verified before every load. Real-time temperature monitoring ensures your shipment starts and stays at the correct temperature. |
| During Transit | Extreme weather, unit malfunction, or door openings can disrupt temperature consistency. | Our high-insulation trailers minimize heat transfer. TempSolution continuously monitors trailer temperature and automatically sends alerts if a deviation occurs protecting your cargo even in challenging conditions. |
| Unloading | Long dwell times or incorrect arrival temperature can expose products to ambient air. | Our systems track arrival temperatures and dwell times, giving you documented proof of compliance and protection throughout the entire trip. |
| Post-Delivery | Without reliable data, it’s difficult to verify temperature compliance if issues arise later. | Every TempSolution shipment includes complete temperature records, available on demand. This makes quality audits and traceability effortless. |
