Frequently Asked Questions
Refrigerated transportation costs can be substantial due to increased fuel consumption and maintenance expenses for refrigerated vehicles. At Spotos, you are in control of your transportation budget. We offer two pricing options for shipping your temperature-controlled goods:

Refrigerated transportation is essential for food logistics, including meat, seafood, dairy, and frozen food, which require strict temperature standards during transportation. Additionally, it serves the pharmaceuticals, fine art, and cosmetics industries. Temperature-controlled transportation has made moving goods from spot A to spot B more efficient and safe.
To ship refrigerated items, such as pharmaceuticals or perishable food, you need to book refrigerated vehicles that provide insulation and temperature stability. Ensuring controlled temperatures at all stages of transportation will help preserve the quality of your perishable goods.
Reputable refrigerated transport services like Spotos take measures to ensure your chilled products retain their value during delivery. Here’s what you can do to ensure foolproof freight safety:
- Prepare your shipment: Keep your chilled goods in a refrigerated environment before shipment.
- Clear communication: Inform the receiver of the delivery time ahead of shipment. Confirm the responsible person’s availability to accept and store the goods in a refrigerated environment.
- Precise packing: Secure your shipment with thermal protection, such as foil, foam, or bubble wrap. A standard pallet with a liner is sufficient to maintain chilled product quality during shipment.
- Secure the shipment: Ensure that your insulated box or pallet can withstand the forces of loading and unloading during transportation.
- Seal and send: Close and seal the top of your insulated pallet.
