Why Indiana for Reefer Operations

Chicago's massive cold storage infrastructure, meat processing plants across Iowa and Nebraska, and dairy operations in Wisconsin generate steady year-round demand. Harvest season (August through November) adds grain-to-processor and fresh produce lanes. The region's central location creates efficient outbound lanes to both coasts.
