Refrigerated Food & Beverage
Our logistics experts have delivered refrigerated produce for industry partners since 2005. First Call’s network of cold chain resources will keep your perishable loads at ideal temperatures no matter the weather, traffic delays or freight requirements.
Frozen Food
Frozen foods can be expensive to produce and distribute – be sure not to lose any freight due to poor communication or mishandling. Trust First Call to keep both full loads and LTL freight frozen, not freezer burned.
