Emergency Solutions for Distressed Refrigerated and Frozen Freight
When a refrigerated (reefer) load is rejected at a distribution center, the clock starts ticking immediately. Unlike dry goods, perishable freight—such as meat, produce, dairy, or pharmaceuticals—has a very limited window before it becomes a total loss due to temperature excursions.
In the DFW area, ACE Storage Solution provides the critical infrastructure needed to save these high-value, temperature-sensitive loads.
The Danger of Temperature Excursions in Transport
A “temperature excursion” happens when the internal temperature of the trailer rises above the required setting. This can happen due to:
Reefer Unit Failure: Mechanical breakdowns in the cooling system.
Long Wait Times: Excessive idling or delays at the receiver’s gate.
Rejected Delivery: If a receiver finds even one pallet slightly out of range, they may reject the entire 40,000 lb load.
Without immediate intervention, the entire shipment could be spoiled, leading to massive insurance claims and lost revenue.
Utilizing 0-Degree and 40-Degree Emergency Storage
At ACE Storage Solution, we are equipped to handle any refrigerated emergency. Our Arlington facility features specialized zones to maintain the cold chain:
Frozen Walk-in Storage (0°F)
For frozen meat, seafood, and deep-freeze products, we offer a 20,000 sq ft frozen storage area. We can quickly cross-dock your rejected frozen load into our 0°F environment to stabilize the temperature and prevent thawing.
Cooler Storage (40°F)
For fresh produce, beverages, and dairy, our 5,000 sq ft cooler maintains a constant 40°F. This is the ideal "staging area" for distressed loads that need a temporary home while a new receiver is found.
Fast Container Unloading for Perishables
Speed is the most important factor in saving perishable freight. Our experienced lumper teams are available 24/7 to prioritize distressed refrigerated loads. We can unload an entire trailer into our climate-controlled facility in record time, ensuring that the product stays within its required safety range.
