WORKING WITH GP TRANSCO
Some types of cargo require special attention. For example, many kinds of food, beverages and pharmaceuticals can’t be shipped in a regular trailer where they could be exposed to extreme heat. This could put items at risk of spoilage or reduce their efficacy, which is why GP Transco offers temperature-controlled shipping that protects these delicate cargos. As a leader in the transportation industry since 2006, we’re proud to offer comprehensive temperature-controlled logistics solutions tailored to the needs of our clients. Not only do we have our own dedicated fleet of trucks and drivers, but also our in-house brokerage offers you unparalleled flexibility to find the climate-controlled shipping capabilities you need. Our services and commitment to customer service make us the ideal temperature-controlled trucking company.
