Why Tennessee for Reefer Operations
Southeast reefer demand is driven by produce season from Florida and Georgia, poultry processing across the region, and year-round foodservice delivery to tourist destinations. Florida's produce season (October through May) creates strong northbound demand, while return loads of frozen and refrigerated goods keep utilization high. The Lakeland FL area is the epicenter of Southeast reefer freight.
