looking to start a reefer LTL company

I can't say that I have experience but I have been curious and done some research on this kind of thing myself. seems like it could be a good thing for sure.

 

Temp-controlled LTL kind of already exists, it's called foodservice. But there may be a niche market in dock-to-dock delivery that I'm unaware of. I'm subscribing to this thread and hoping more knowledgeable folks will chime in.

 

Not really. There are tons of FS outfits that don't deliver their own product.

 

Pfg just bought them out im pretty sure.

 

How much of these partials are produce? As a broker im sure you know how funny that whole deal can get

 

They don't deliver Core Mark Brand foodstuffs, is what I mean. They deliver name-brand supplies, whether they buy them at wholesale or contract with the makers, IDK.

 

How you gonna load pallets in a sprinter van.
The equipment you need is totally irrelevant.
You couldn't pay me or most other drivers enough money
To do multiple LTL stops with a reefer.
That's nothing but multiple problems all day long.

It's sounds good on paper.
But there's a reason nobody does it.
