Reefer Truck Shortages Boost Rates

http://www.joc.com/cool-cargoes/capacity-squeeze

"...the produce season will tighten capacity — especially refrigerated truck capacity — and push up pricing as it shifts from region to region throughout the summer."

"Shippers of temperature-controlled products...About 92 percent of respondents said they were impacted in some way by capacity shortages. Of those, 37 percent said the impact was "significant to extreme."....Not surprisingly, as capacity goes, so go freight rates"

"...the margins on reefer shipments are higher and because there have been few shipping alternatives to truck."
