FAQ: Answers to Questions About Refrigerated Transport
How is the price for refrigerated transport determined?
The cost depends on the season, distance, and the required temperature regime. Shipping by "reefer" is usually more expensive than a standard curtain-side truck due to fuel consumption by the cooling unit. On Lardi-Trans, you see real market rates and can negotiate directly with carriers or shippers.
Can I find LTL (less-than-truckload) space in a refrigerated truck?
Yes, this is a very popular request. If you have a small batch of goods (e.g., a few pallets), you can find a truck already heading in the right direction willing to take a partial load. This significantly saves the sender's budget. Select "partial load" in the search filters.
How can I ensure the carrier maintains the temperature regime?
When searching for a truck, specify the requirement for a thermograph (temperature recorder)—a device that logs the temperature throughout the journey. You can also read reviews from other shippers on the carrier's Lardi-Trans profile to verify their reliability.
What documents are required for food transportation?
In addition to standard transport documents (CMR, Waybill), the driver and vehicle must have a valid sanitary certificate. For meat or fish transport, veterinary certificates may also be required. Always discuss documentation with the contractor before the trip starts.
Does Lardi-Trans provide its own refrigerated trucks?
No, Lardi-Trans is an information aggregator platform. We connect independent carriers and cargo owners. We do not own a fleet, but we provide the widest range of market offers for you to find a partner yourself.
Is transport with heating available during winter?
Absolutely. Modern refrigerated units work not only for cooling but also for heating. This is critical for transporting beverages, canned goods, paints, or live flowers in freezing weather when a stable "plus" temperature must be maintained inside the body.
