Beating the Heat: Why Temperature-Controlled Logistics Matters More Than Ever

Summer Isn’t Letting Up — and Neither Are We

This summer, much of the country has faced record-setting temperatures. Extended heatwaves, road closures, and strained infrastructure all increase the complexity of keeping freight safe and compliant.

That’s why 6th Street Logistics goes beyond basic refrigerated shipping to offer a full-service cold chain logistics solution:

Refrigerated and Climate-Controlled Transport

Our nationwide carrier network is equipped with modern, well-maintained reefers and temperature-sensitive trailers. Whether your cargo requires frozen, chilled, or ambient control, we match the equipment to your product’s exact requirements.

No matter the conditions outside, your freight stays protected inside.

Shipping temperature-sensitive freight is a 24/7 job — and so is our commitment to it. Our dispatch and logistics teams monitor high-risk lanes, weather conditions, and equipment status around the clock.

If an issue arises on the road — rerouting due to weather, equipment failure, or traffic — our team is on it before it becomes a problem.i

Before any truck is dispatched, we pre-inspect and validate all temperature-controlled equipment. We verify set points, confirm seal integrity, and ensure compliance with any industry-specific protocols (like FSMA for food or GDP for pharmaceuticals).

Our goal: no surprises at delivery — just safe, secure freight.
