Reefer freight can be highly profitable — if you know how to navigate the seasonal markets and broker networks. Here are five tips from our reefer dispatch team to help you maximize your rates.
1. Know the Produce Seasons
Different regions peak at different times. Understanding produce calendars helps you position your truck in high-demand lanes.
2. Build Broker Relationships
Repeat business with reliable brokers leads to better rates and consistent freight. Our dispatchers maintain these relationships on your behalf.
3. Minimize Empty Miles
Planning backhauls before you deliver saves fuel and increases your effective rate per mile.
