MAT Dispatch equipment 5% dispatch fee

Temperature-controlled freight. Appointments handled.

Reefer freight pays well and punishes late arrivals. MAT Dispatch keeps your appointments, temperatures and reload timing straight so you stay on schedule and keep the higher-paying lanes open to you.

  • Produce, protein, dairy and frozen freight
  • Appointment times and cold-chain requirements confirmed in advance
  • 5% dispatch fee — you approve every load

Refrigerated dispatch built around the clock and the temperature

Reefer work is a scheduling business as much as a driving one. Cold storage facilities run tight appointment windows, produce shippers load late, and a missed slot can cost a whole day. Your MAT Dispatch specialist manages those windows so the truck is not waiting on a dock it could have avoided.

Before anything is booked we confirm the set temperature, whether continuous or cycle run is required, pre-cool expectations and any washout between commodities. If an appointment slips we call the receiver, reschedule and rebuild the reload plan rather than leaving you to sort it at the gate.
