Reefer (Refrigerated) Container Drayage

OnTrak is a licensed, insured and hazmat-certified drayage carrier moving temperature-controlled reefer containers off the docks and into motion across Florida. Dedicated local teams keep the cold chain intact at the Port of Miami and Port Tampa Bay — genset-powered, set-point verified and moving on time for perishable, time-sensitive freight.

What is reefer drayage

Cold-chain trucking, set-point verified

Reefer drayage is the short-haul trucking of refrigerated ocean containers — produce, seafood, pharmaceuticals and other perishables — where the temperature can never lapse between the terminal and your dock. It's the most time-sensitive link in the cold chain: a container that sits or loses power puts the whole load at risk. For freight brokers, importers and 3PLs, reliable reefer drayage means genset power, a monitored set-point and a driver who moves without delay.

OnTrak handles refrigerated container drayage at both PortMiami and Port Tampa Bay with genset-equipped chassis and TWIC-holding drivers who confirm the temperature set-point at pickup and keep the unit running the entire move. We prioritize reefer appointments to minimize dwell, deliver live or drop-and-pick, and keep dispatch in the loop so your perishable freight stays cold, on schedule and ahead of demurrage and per diem.

How it works

A cold-chain move, step by step

No gaps in the temperature record — just a clear, monitored path from the terminal to your dock.

01

Set-point & appointment

You send us the container, required temperature and destination. We secure a priority reefer appointment and confirm the plan and pricing.

02

Genset gate & pull

A TWIC-certified driver picks up the reefer on a genset-equipped chassis, verifies the set-point and clears the terminal gate.

03

Cold delivery

We move without delay and deliver live for immediate unload, keeping the unit powered and the cold chain unbroken throughout.

04

Empty return

We return the empty container and chassis promptly to keep your per diem and detention exposure down.
