Reefer trucks (refrigerated trucks) are temperature-controlled vehicles for transporting perishable cargo — fresh produce, dairy, meat, frozen foods, and pharmaceuticals. Available as straight trucks for local delivery or tractor-trailers for long-haul, they maintain precise temperatures from -20°F to +65°F using diesel or electric refrigeration units.

Reefer Truck Trucks For Sale — FAQ
How do I check the condition of a refrigeration unit on a used reefer truck?
Request the reefer unit maintenance log and pull its hour meter reading. Units with over 20,000 hours may need major overhaul soon. Run the unit through a full cool-down cycle to verify it reaches target temperature. Inspect coils, belts, and door seals. Carrier and Thermo King certified service dealers can perform a pre-purchase inspection.
What is a multi-temp reefer trailer and when do I need one?
Multi-temp trailers have two or three separate temperature zones, each with its own refrigeration circuit. They let a single trailer carry frozen goods (-10°F), fresh produce (34°F), and ambient products on the same run. Multi-temp trailers are common in grocery distribution and eliminate the need for multiple truck trips.
Do reefer trucks require any special CDL endorsements?
No special endorsement is required to drive a reefer truck beyond the standard Class A CDL (for tractor-trailers) or Class B CDL (for straight truck reefers over 26,001 lbs). Hauling certain hazardous materials (dry ice, some chemicals) may require an H endorsement.
