reefer equipment

Reefer capacity for domestic Canada and Canada–U.S. cross-border freight

Connect with vetted carriers running temperature-controlled lanes across Canada and Canada–U.S. cross-border (northbound and southbound) — heated and protect-from-freeze in winter, fresh and frozen cold-chain year-round. Source contracted capacity at dedicated rates in CAD or USD, or cover one-off spot loads with the right reefer. Mexico runs on the same login when you need it.

Post the temperature-critical details that prevent claims and freeze damage

Post temperature-controlled freight with the critical details carriers need to bid without back-and-forth calls — including protect-from-freeze setpoints and winter securement for Canadian lanes. Cargado routes postings to ~120 relevant carriers fast.

Better matching and fewer claims start with complete details:

  • Temperature setpoint in °C — continuous, cycle, or protect-from-freeze
  • Pulp/precool requirements and winter securement notes
  • Bulkhead, space-saver, or other trailer configuration
  • Commodity type, handling notes, and crossing (Lacolle, Windsor–Detroit, Pacific Highway)
Carrier Qualifications

Find vetted Canadian and cross-border carriers that specialize in reefer

Filter for the credentials your reefer freight requires — NSC and CVOR authority, CTPAT/PIP and FAST for cross-border, PARS/ACI and PAPS/ACE pre-staged before the truck hits the crossing. Cargado is the modern alternative to legacy load boards that adds vetted U.S. carrier access and weekly carrier-bid rates, and carriers pay no subscription so your pool keeps growing. Your temperature-controlled postings reach only carriers with the right equipment and credentials for the lane.

“Cargado gives me a sense of comfort. When we get a bid, I know it’s a good carrier.”
