Consider these advantages:

• Zero-emission solutions that meet the toughest air quality regulations, including the TRUs In-use Performance Requirements from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
• Much quieter operation over traditional diesel units.
• Flexibility to meet the wide variety of cold-storage challenges — from temporary on-site storage to distribution centers and for trailers that are rented, leased, or purchased.
• Better alternative to Thermo King CG-II/NWE MAX™, Carrier Electra™, or our previous generation electric reefer, SBE-MAX.

Arctic Glacier (Port Huron, Ypsilanti, Lansing, Traverse City, Grayling, Belding, and Shelby Twp) tackles refrigeration unit maintenance with a comprehensive plan covering all locations across Michigan and all makes of trailer and straight truck (both Thermo King™ and Carrier™) refrigeration units.

• Refrigeration unit downtime was one of the biggest problems in their business during their busy summer season.
• High repair costs, especially with the difficulty to predict them, were also a growing problem.

After several discussions and fine tuning, Thermo King Michigan delivered a program that helped resolve all of these issues:  “Unit down time used to be one of our biggest headaches.  Now we don’t even think about it.”

The company now spends less time chasing problems, rework, and processing invoices.

“We  receive a level of support, training, and account management that is well beyond what we initially expected.   Thermo King Michigan is committed to making the program work well for us with every aspect of the business relationship.”

“This has been great for us, and we’d recommend it to any business that is in a similar situation!”

Having taken a decision to invest and grow in this area, HWE used a comprehensive approach, and they looked deeply at all levels of detail:

• Good temperature control and load protection: No sacrifice would be made in this area.  Which unit performs the best?
• Core Technology of the unit: Updating of decades old technology did not impress.  Which unit had the most intelligent design?
• Complementary Technology: Programmability with Optiset, and monitoring with Door Switches, Cargo Sensors & Telematics was important.  Who had the best system?

• Dealer network and national support: Simply put, who had the best support?
• Professional staff and support of product during sale and after. Who did the best job?
• Considering the above factors, HWE decided to go 100% with Thermo King over others in the marketplace.

Some things never change and some things change faster than others. So it goes with trucking and so it will go in 2016. The all-too-familiar driver shortage will keep capacity tight while bedeviling motor carriers to attract and retain professional, safety-minded truck operators.
