When shipping from Long Beach to Omaha, account for the impact of seasonal factors. During the North American summer holiday peak (late June-early September), expect tight capacity and higher rates; secure bookings at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Additionally, prepare for potential delays due to winter storms (December-March) and adjust delivery commitments accordingly. Build in extra buffer days for transit times to mitigate risks from congestion and weather disruptions throughout the year.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have limits on how much dry ice is allowed per package and per shipment, and labels must show the net weight of dry ice and UN1845 markings. We recommend checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. We recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that adequate insulation was used before honoring claims.
Most chilled beverages should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always verify requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix chilled food and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Proper temperature control is crucial for Fresh & Frozen Food during ground transport. Refrigerated food should be maintained at temperatures between 32°F and 40°F, while frozen food must remain at 0°F or below. Ensuring that vehicles are equipped with reliable refrigeration units is essential to prevent spoilage.
Yes, seasonal temperature fluctuations can impact the handling of Fresh & Frozen Food. During the summer months, higher ambient temperatures may require additional precautions to maintain proper temperature control, while winter months may pose risks of freezing if not monitored appropriately.
