What Is Refrigerated (Reefer) Shipping & Why It Matters for Cold-Chain Logistics? Temperature-controlled shipping is essential for protecting sensitive freight
At KNL Logistics, we specialize in serving companies with real shipping volume, real operational stakes, and customers who expect reliability — not businesses moving just a few pallets a month. Our team supports a wide range of industries, including manufacturing operations moving raw materials and finished goods between plants and distribution centers; food and beverage brands requiring temperature-controlled, compliance-driven, time-sensitive freight; healthcare and medical product companies with strict quality and multi-channel distribution needs; energy, industrial, and building product suppliers moving heavy, high-value, or project-based shipments; and ecommerce and retail brands managing DTC, marketplace, and big-box retailer programs with stringent SLAs. If your supply chain demands precision, consistency, and a true logistics partner, KNL is built for you.
Manufacturers rely on steady flow from vendors to plants to DCs to customers, and KNL supports that by balancing inbound materials and outbound goods, managing plant and DC transfers, implementing drop-trailer and yard programs, leveraging our Marietta, GA warehouse for overflow and value-added work, and strengthening operations through supply chain consulting, process design, and systems integration so freight never becomes the bottleneck.
Food and beverage logistics demand precision — cold chain integrity, strict compliance, and flawless timing — and there’s no room for “we’ll figure it out.” At KNL Logistics, we support food and beverage brands with temperature-controlled truckload and LTL solutions across refrigerated, frozen, and protect-from-freeze needs, along with disciplined retail and foodservice deliveries that meet appointment and routing guide requirements. Our warehouse services streamline inbound and outbound flow, retail prep, and repack or relabel projects, while our value-added capabilities include kitting, promo packs, multipacks, and club-store builds. We also help brands navigate seasonal surges, promotions, and new market launches with flexible, scalable logistics solutions. When mishandled freight can mean spoilage, chargebacks, or brand damage, we design your supply chain to prevent it.
Healthcare and medical-adjacent products may not be pharmaceuticals, but they’re still mission-critical and demand exceptional accuracy, control, and care. At KNL Logistics, we help healthcare product companies protect their freight with high handling standards, damage-prevention practices, and clean, auditable processes. Our warehouse supports stocking, staging, kitting, and relabeling, while our distribution capabilities cover multi-channel needs — from distributors and clinics to direct-to-provider and ecommerce. When your products touch patients and providers, “good enough” isn’t good enough, and we build logistics programs that reflect that level of responsibility.
Energy, industrial, and building products supply chains are often heavy, awkward, and time-sensitive — and at KNL Logistics, we’re built to handle that complexity. We support these industries with truckload, flatbed, and specialized transportation; project-based logistics for site launches, shutdowns, and upgrades; and warehouse staging for sequenced outbound shipments. Our drop-trailer, yard, and flow programs help relieve pressure on constrained job sites, while our reverse logistics solutions manage returns of equipment, tools, and materials. When your freight is big, bulky, or essential to keeping work moving on-site, we design logistics around the real-world demands of your operation.
commerce and retail logistics demand precision, because late, incorrect, or non-compliant orders don’t just cost money — they cost reviews, rankings, and shelf space. At KNL Logistics, we support retail-focused and DTC brands with comprehensive solutions, including warehousing in Marietta, GA for storage, pick/pack, and outbound fulfillment; retail-compliant prep for Amazon, Walmart, Target, club stores, and major retailers; and kitting, bundling, and value-added services for multipacks and promotional kits. We also handle relabeling and rework to fix non-compliant or aging inventory, along with parcel, LTL, and truckload replenishment into distribution centers and last-mile networks. Our ecommerce and retail logistics programs keep every stakeholder satisfied — the retailer, the algorithm, and your end customer.

Hotshot shipping is a specialized service designed for urgent and time-sensitive deliveries.

Our hotshot shipping services are ideal for a wide range of smaller loads, including equipment, machinery, building materials, tools, automobiles, and other critical supplies. If you have specific requirements, our team can provide tailored solutions to ensure your goods are transported safely and efficiently.
We pride ourselves on our rapid response times. As soon as you submit a hotshot shipping request, our team works quickly to dispatch the nearest available driver and vehicle, typically within hours. We understand the urgency of your needs and prioritize getting your shipment on the road as fast as possible.

Safety and security are paramount in our hotshot shipping services. We use specialized vehicles equipped with securement tools to safely transport your goods, and our drivers are trained in best practices for handling urgent loads. Additionally, we provide real-time tracking and monitoring to keep you informed throughout the shipment's journey.
