Shipping Refrigerated Goods During a Heatwave

In the height of summer, transporting perishable goods can be a logistical challenge. Shipping refrigerated goods during a heatwave is serious business. Ensuring that products remain fresh and safe for consumption is paramount. This is where Dolphin Delivery excels. With our advanced refrigeration units (reefers), we provide reliable and efficient solutions for shipping refrigerated goods even in the most extreme temperatures. Here’s how we ensure your goods stay cool and intact from pickup to delivery.

Advanced Refrigeration Solutions

At Dolphin Delivery, we pride ourselves on our state-of-the-art reefers. These refrigeration units are designed to maintain precise temperature control, ensuring your perishable goods remain at the optimal temperature throughout their journey. Whether you’re shipping fresh produce, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, or any other temperature-sensitive items, our reefers are equipped to handle the task.

Our reefers are not just about cooling; they are about precision and reliability. With real-time temperature monitoring, we can ensure that the internal conditions remain consistent, protecting your goods from any fluctuations that could compromise their quality. This technology is especially crucial during heatwaves when external temperatures can soar, but our reefers ensure your goods stay perfectly chilled.

Extensive Service Network

Dolphin Delivery offers direct service to all points in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona. Our extensive network ensures that we can handle shipments across vast distances without compromising on quality or speed. Our cross-dock facility located in Abbotsford, BC, allows for efficient load consolidation and de-consolidation, optimizing delivery routes and times.

As a USA and Canadian bonded carrier, we are well-equipped to handle cross-border shipments seamlessly. Our C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest security standards, ensuring that your goods are not only kept at the right temperature but also secure throughout their journey.

Sustainability and Efficiency

We are proud to be Smartway certified, a testament to our commitment to sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint. Our reefers are designed to be energy-efficient, minimizing fuel consumption while maximizing cooling performance. This not only helps in protecting the environment but also ensures cost-effective solutions for our clients.
