Reefer Freight

Temperature-Controlled Freight Built for Cold Chain Risk

Mann Trans moves refrigerated, frozen, and temperature-sensitive freight from California to nationwide markets with disciplined dispatch, live visibility, and food-safe handling.

Cold Chain Control

Refrigerated transportation for freight that cannot fail

Temperature-controlled freight is not just a trailer setting. It is pickup timing, product temperature, trailer pre-cool, route planning, dock coordination, monitoring, and documentation working together. Mann Trans helps shippers protect high-value freight from origin through final delivery.

Our team supports full truckload reefer freight, dedicated lane programs, multi-stop pickup routes, and refrigerated LTL consolidation for compatible products. Based in Bakersfield, we are positioned close to California's Central Valley, coastal growing regions, Los Angeles, and major westbound and eastbound lanes.
