Keep Perishables Fresh with Temperature-Controlled Freight Services

Keep product integrity intact from loading to delivery. TA Dedicated’s temperature-controlled freight solutions are designed for food and beverage shippers who can’t afford spoilage, delays, or compliance lapses.

Reduce Waste and Risk with a Cold Chain Expert

Temperature-sensitive shipments demand more than a reefer trailer. They require the right equipment, trained drivers, and real-time visibility from end to end.

TA Dedicated provides dedicated refrigerated freight services tailored to food and beverage supply chains. We protect freshness, meet FSMA compliance, and maintain integrity across every leg of the journey.
