Temperature Accuracy, Monitored Every Mile

When you’re shipping temperature-sensitive freight, even the slightest fluctuation can impact product quality. That’s why Halvor Lines equips all refrigerated trailers with industry-leading, real-time temperature monitoring systems that update every five minutes.

We go beyond basic tracking to ensure regulatory compliance from pickup to delivery:

• Continuous temperature tracking allows for consistent monitoring of load conditions
• Instant alerts notify our teams of any fluctuations, allowing for immediate corrective actions
• Centralized monitoring allows our team to have full visibility across the entire fleet
• Temperature range flexibility lets us handle all of your temperature-sensitive freight, from fresh produce to frozen goods, with confidence.
• Audit-ready data makes compliance simple and provides peace of mind for customers

To further support safety and quality for our customers, all drivers handling temperature-controlled trailers must undergo food safety training before hauling their first load. They are also required to complete refresher education annually.
