Buying a reefer body for your refrigerated truck seems like a piece of cake. As long as it keeps things cold—or, if luck would have it, comes at the lowest price—it should do the job, right? Well, not quite. 

A refrigerated truck body isn’t just a mere vehicle component. It’s the very protection of temperature-sensitive products, such as fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, and frozen goods, that businesses and customers consume on the daily. Thus, you really need to be meticulously sitting in the driver’s seat when picking the perfect reefer body for your needs. 

Imagine this: Your products are on their way to an important client. Everything’s going well until your refrigerated truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Now your products are at risk of spoilage, your client is waiting, and your profit might just go down the drain. Worse, you have no idea how to fix it.

The holidays are a make-or-break season for businesses. From October to December, demand for frozen and chilled goods increases by 100%, especially ham, meat, dairy, alcohol, and desserts. Indeed, profits increase, but so does the pressure for your refrigerated vans to deliver. 

Nonstop running and long routes, not to mention the frequent loading and unloading that destabilizes temperature, force refrigerated vans to work harder. The question is: can yours handle the rush?
