What Is Temp-Controlled Drayage?
Temperature-controlled drayage is the specialized transport of refrigerated ocean containers (reefers) over short distances. This process requires continuous monitoring, genset power management, and strict compliance with food safety and pharmaceutical handling regulations.
KIA Transport provides the specialized equipment and trained personnel required to handle sensitive, perishable, and temperature-critical containerized cargo. We ensure your cold chain remains unbroken from the moment the container is discharged at the terminal until it arrives at its final destination.
Who Is This Service For?
- Food and beverage importers handling frozen, chilled, or fresh produce.
- Pharmaceutical companies transporting temperature-sensitive medical supplies and ingredients.
- Chemical manufacturers requiring precise climate control for specialized materials.
- Cold storage operators needing a reliable asset-based partner for terminal pickups.
How Temp-Controlled Drayage Works

Climate Monitoring
During transit, our drivers actively monitor temperature readings and fuel levels to prevent any temperature breaks.

Cold-Chain Handover
We deliver directly to your dock, completing a documented handover to verify that cargo temperature was maintained throughout.
