Refrigerated transport
Cold chain integrity from dock to dock. No exceptions.
150 reefer trailers. -20°F to 70°F. Continuous temperature logging on every load. CFIA and FDA compliant drivers and equipment.
Why reefer requires a different carrier
A temperature excursion doesn’t just damage freight. It creates a liability chain that runs from the shipper to the receiver to the end consumer. The carrier in the middle either prevents that — or causes it.
Alpha Trans operates 150 reefer trailers with continuous temperature logging — not periodic checks, not driver-reported readings, but automated data recorded every few minutes from pickup to proof of delivery. If your receiver asks for a temp log at delivery, we hand it over on the spot.
Our drivers are trained in CFIA and FDA cold chain protocols. They know the difference between a pre-cool and a cycle-sentry mode. They know when to reject a load at origin because the product temperature is already compromised. And they know that a reefer washout between loads isn’t optional — it’s standard.

What we haul
If it needs to stay cold, we’ve probably moved it.
Produce & dairy
Ontario-grown produce to US grocery chains. Dairy products requiring strict 33–40°F maintenance. Cross-border CFIA paperwork handled as part of the service.
Frozen foods
Deep-frozen freight at -20°F. Ice cream, frozen meals, seafood, and anything else that requires unbroken sub-zero temperatures from plant to distribution center.
Pharmaceuticals
Temperature-sensitive medications, biologics, and clinical supplies requiring documented cold chain compliance. Full temp logs for regulatory audit trails.
Beverages & confections
Craft beer, wine, chocolate, and specialty foods that need ambient or lightly chilled transit. Multi-temp trailers let us run mixed loads on one truck.
