Cold storage confirmed before the product warms up

When a reefer unit fails or a cold load gets rejected, the clock is the product. We place refrigerated and frozen freight in vetted cold storage the same day, and help coordinate the repair.

Short answer

WarehouseNow places refrigerated, frozen and food-grade freight in vetted temperature-controlled warehouses across the U.S., Mexico and Canada, usually within hours of your call. We confirm a facility with the right temperature zone and certifications within 15 minutes and coordinate the unload, hold and reload.

What temperature-controlled storage covers

Temperature-controlled storage covers refrigerated (typically 33 to 40°F), frozen (0°F and below) and controlled-ambient product such as produce, dairy, meat, seafood, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and confectionery. On-demand cold storage matters most during a failure: a reefer unit breaks on a Sunday night, a receiver rejects a load for a temperature excursion, or a driver runs out of hours with a load that cannot sit. Our network includes cold facilities that receive after hours and hold product for a day or a season.

How it works

Tell us the temperature and the clock

Commodity, set point, current temperature if known, pallet count, where the trailer is and how long you need to hold.

We confirm cold space

Within 15 minutes we match a facility with the right zone, food-grade or pharma certification and a dock that can receive now.

Unload, hold, reload

The facility logs temperatures on receipt, holds the product and reloads when your replacement equipment arrives. We can also help find a local reefer repair.

Typical turnaround

Facility confirmed in 15 minutes. Same-day receiving in major markets, including nights and weekends. Holds from one day to several months. In one Sunday-night reefer failure we had a solution in place in under an hour.

What drives the cost

  • Temperature zone, with frozen space priced above refrigerated
  • Pallet count and duration
  • Food-grade, USDA or pharmaceutical handling requirements
  • After-hours receiving and reloading
  • Temperature logging, inspection and re-icing or blast-freezing services

Every quote covers the full job, including materials, after-hours labor and any storage days, so the number you pass to your customer or your claim is the number you pay.

Where we do this

Temperature-Controlled Storage is available in all 50 states plus Mexico and Canada. Partner coverage is deepest in these freight hubs:

Problems this solves

Temperature-Controlled Storage: frequently asked questions

How fast can you find cold storage after a reefer breakdown?

We confirm a facility within 15 minutes and most major markets can receive the same day. One customer’s Sunday-night reefer failure was solved in under an hour, which avoided a claim.

Do you handle frozen product?

Yes. We place frozen, refrigerated and controlled-ambient product, each in a facility with the matching zone.

Are facilities food-grade certified?

We match food freight to facilities with the appropriate food-safety certifications and inspection records. Tell us the commodity and any customer requirements.

Can you help with the reefer repair as well?

Yes. We have coordinated local reefer repair for customers so the freight and the equipment are handled in parallel.

Will temperatures be documented?

Yes. Facilities record temperature on receipt and at reload, and provide the log for your claim or your customer.

What is the minimum hold?

One day. Many cold holds are overnight or over a weekend until the receiver can accept the load.
