Commercial & fleet trailers
Dry vans, reefers and fleet trailers. Mobile service at your yard, dock or a safe roadside location.
A box climbing above set point needs a prompt diagnosis. Tell us the location, unit make and model, alarm code, set point, actual box temperature and whether the trailer is loaded. We will confirm available refrigeration-unit or trailer-side service for that equipment before dispatch.
Confirm availability and service-call rate before dispatch.
The price depends on whether the fault is in the refrigeration unit, its controls, the airflow path or the trailer body. Model-specific parts and safe access affect the scope. Tell us the load status and alarm so we can confirm available service, the visit rate and the next step before dispatch.
| Factor | Why it moves the number |
|---|---|
| What the alarm actually is | The alarm and symptoms guide diagnosis; a sensor, belt or fuel fault differs from a major component repair. |
| Unit make and generation | Parts and service availability depend on the unit make, model and age; confirm support when you call. |
| Whether the load is still good | If the box is climbing, discuss load-protection options while the fault and service scope are assessed. |
| Consumable or component | Consumables and components have different labor and parts needs; availability is confirmed before a repair is promised. |
| Box integrity | Seals, curtains, wall panels and floors. Leaks and damaged insulation can make temperature control harder. |
| Roadside or at your yard | A reefer down on I-95 with a live load is the most expensive version of this job. |
| Time of day | Produce and pharma move at night. After-hours rates apply. |
We quote before we start and we do not begin work you have not approved. We do not publish ranges here, because the same job varies too much by trailer, access and hour — call and we will give you a number for your unit.
A temperature complaint can begin with airflow, door seals, drains, sensors, insulation or the refrigeration unit itself. The alarm and actual box temperature help narrow the scope before anyone proposes a major repair.
| Symptom | Usual cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Set point never reached, unit runs constantly | Door seal leaking, curtain missing, product stacked against the bulkhead | Seals and gaskets replaced, airflow corrected |
| Temperature swings between deliveries | Sensor drift, controller settings, drain blocked and re-freezing | Check service scope for sensors or controls; inspect drains and box integrity |
| Unit shuts down with an alarm code | Fuel, belt, high-pressure or sensor fault | Confirm unit-diagnostic support; trace the fault and discuss available repair options |
| Ice building on the evaporator | Defrost cycle or drain failure, warm air ingress | Confirm unit-side support; inspect drains and door seals as applicable |
| Front of the box warm, rear cold | Airflow blocked, chute or bulkhead damaged | Chute, bulkhead and return air path repaired |
| Floor sweating, product wet | Insulation soaked, floor delaminated | Floor section replaced and resealed |
Call with the unit make, the set point, the actual box temperature and the alarm code. That helps us check service scope and likely parts before dispatch.
Tell dispatch immediately if the trailer is loaded, what it carries and how quickly the box temperature is rising. We will give you the available response window and confirm whether this unit fault is within service scope. Follow your load-protection procedures while you wait.
Broward's reefer traffic concentrates on the Copans corridor in Pompano Beach, the Dixie Highway food and beverage blocks in Hollywood, and the port and airport freight docks in Fort Lauderdale. Those are common freight areas in Broward.
For fleet work, ask which refrigeration-unit checks are available for your make and model. Trailer-side PM can include seal and door hardware, brakes and lights. We can discuss a cycle based on your duty hours and confirm the work scope before scheduling.
Call with the unit make, set point, box temperature and alarm code. Tell us if the trailer is loaded so we can discuss availability and the safest next step.
