Frozen freight service
Frozen freight should be classified before the rate request. It is different from chilled, fresh, controlled ambient, refrigerated, and dry freight, and the operating plan depends on shipper instructions, product condition, equipment needs, receiver rules, and appointment timing.

Frozen food truckload movements.
Timing pressure
