Transporting goods, whether everyday household items or sensitive perishables, requires careful planning and execution. Two critical services in the logistical landscape are dry van trucking and temperature-controlled transport. These provide essential solutions for a broad range of freight needs.
CW Freight specializes in these services, offering cutting-edge technology and strategic location advantages to cater to various shipping requirements. We are a leading asset-based drayage company based out of Chicago with over 20 years of experience in international and domestic container logistics.
Understanding Dry Van Trucking & Temperature Controlled Transport
Dry van trucking is perhaps the most commonly used freight service. It involves using enclosed trailers to haul goods that do not require temperature regulation. The term "dry van" refers to standard trailers equipped to protect cargo from the elements, thus ensuring that goods are delivered safely, regardless of weather conditions.
On the other hand, temperature controlled trucking and transport involves using specialized equipment and trailers to maintain specific temperature conditions during the transportation process. This service is particularly crucial for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, certain chemicals, and other sensitive products that require a stable environment to retain their integrity and quality.
Why Choose CW Freight
CW Freight operates a modern fleet capable of handling both dry van and temperature-controlled transportation. For dry van trucking services, cargo is loaded into trailers that ensure it remains dry and secure until it reaches its destination. This service is crucial for goods that require protection from dust, rain, or other environmental factors but do not necessitate temperature regulation.
Temperature-controlled transport involves the usage of refrigeration or heating systems within the trailers to maintain precise temperature settings throughout the journey. CW Freight’s temperature-controlled services are enhanced by real-time container tracking systems, allowing for continuous monitoring of conditions and ensuring that any issues are immediately addressed.
Key Benefits of Dry Van & Temperature Controlled Transport
Utilizing these specialized transport services provides numerous benefits. For dry van trucking, the primary advantage is versatility and broad applicability, as most types of freight can be moved using this service. The protection against weather and external elements adds an extra layer of safety.
Temperature-controlled transport offers the crucial benefit of maintaining the quality and safety of sensitive goods. This service is indispensable for industries relying on precise temperature conditions for their products, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and certain chemicals. Coupling this with CW Freight’s real-time tracking and monitoring systems gives shippers peace of mind, knowing their cargo is monitored continuously.
Types of Freight Managed
