What It's For
Common reefer loads.
Ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical distribution where temperature integrity is non-negotiable.
A reefer trailer is a fully insulated, refrigerated trailer built to keep freight inside a set temperature range for the entire haul — the trailer you need any time the cold chain can't be broken between pickup and delivery. Metro Atlanta's produce, beverage, and food-distribution volume keeps steady demand for reefer rental and reefer leasing across the region, from a single seasonal produce run to a standing lease for a dedicated cold-chain route.
Like a dry van, a standard reefer runs about 53 feet long, but it's insulated and carries its own diesel-powered refrigeration unit mounted at the nose of the trailer. That unit holds a set point anywhere from well below freezing up to a mild 70°F, and most units log the temperature automatically so you have a record after the fact.
- Fresh produce and perishable groceries
- Frozen foods
- Pharmaceuticals and temperature-sensitive medical supplies
- Floral and other perishable retail goods
- Beverage distribution that needs climate control
- Seasonal or holiday-volume cold-chain freight

Two ways to get a reefer.
Both options get you the same refrigerated trailer — the difference is how long you need it and who handles upkeep on the refrigeration unit. Here's how reefer rental compares to a reefer lease.
Rent
Short-term reefer rental fits a seasonal produce run, a one-off cold shipment, or a holiday-volume spike — situations where leasing a unit year-round wouldn't make sense. Rentals are billed for the period you actually need cold-chain capacity, not a standing commitment.
Lease
A reefer lease usually comes with maintenance built in, which matters more here than with a dry van — the diesel refrigeration unit is the part most likely to need service, and a lease keeps that off your plate. It's the better fit for a dedicated cold-chain route running regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Reefer Rentals in Atlanta, Answered.
Does a reefer trailer need a driver to babysit the temperature?
No — the refrigeration unit runs on its own diesel engine and holds a set temperature automatically. Most units also let you check the temperature log after the fact.
Can I rent a reefer for just one seasonal run?
Yes — short-term reefer rental is common for seasonal produce or holiday-volume runs where leasing a unit year-round wouldn't make sense.
What temperature range can a reefer trailer hold?
Our reefer units run from well below freezing up to a mild 70°F, covering everything from deep-frozen to just-chilled freight.
Is reefer trailer maintenance included with a lease?
It depends on the lease structure — the refrigeration unit is the part most likely to need service, and some leases build that maintenance in. We'll clarify exactly what's covered before you commit to anything.
Can a reefer trailer haul frozen and fresh product on the same route?
Yes — the unit's temperature can be set and adjusted, so the same trailer can run a frozen load one day and a chilled load the next.
Do you have reefer trailers for pharmaceutical or medical freight?
Yes — reefer trailers are available for pharmaceutical and other temperature-sensitive medical freight where the cold chain can't be broken.
Can a smaller or newer carrier get a reefer trailer without a big fleet?
Yes. We work across multiple equipment sources rather than one leasing company's fixed minimums, so smaller and newer operations have more paths to a reefer trailer.
Do you have reefer trailers available to rent, not just lease?
Yes — reefer rental is available for a single cold shipment or a short-term run, alongside standing leases for ongoing cold-chain freight.
Do I need to know the exact temperature setting before I rent?
It helps but isn't required upfront — tell us the general range (frozen, chilled, or a specific set point) and we'll confirm exact specs with the provider before you commit.
How is a reefer trailer different from a refrigerated truck?
A reefer trailer is pulled by a separate tractor and can be dropped at a dock while the tractor keeps moving, unlike a self-contained refrigerated truck — the same distinction as a dry van versus a box truck.
