Cold transport
A warm truck ruins a load. Ours stay cold.
Chilled food has no margin for error. A couple of hours out of temperature and a pallet of milk, meat or salad is a write-off, and so is the customer’s trust. JB Parttime runs refrigerated transport across Victoria for food businesses that can’t afford that, and has been carrying fresh food since 2008.
12 of our 25 vehicles carry refrigerated bodies. The body is cold before your product goes in, the doors stay shut between drops, and the load arrives at the store, kitchen or distribution centre at the temperature it left you.
Runs leave from our bases in Hillside, in Melbourne’s north west, and Colac, in the west, so chilled freight to Geelong, Warrnambool, Shepparton or the coast starts close to where it’s going.

What you need from a carrier
Six things a chilled load can’t do without.
Any truck can move a box. Moving food that has to stay cold, on time, to the far end of the state is a different job.

A body that’s actually refrigerated
Not an insulated van with an ice pack. Almost half our fleet runs refrigerated bodies built for chilled food.

Cold transport questions
Before you book a cold run.
Anything not covered here, call us on 0468 772 402.
What can you carry in a refrigerated truck?
Dairy, meat, smallgoods, fresh produce, ready meals and other chilled food. If it has to stay cold between your dock and the customer’s, ask us about it.
How many refrigerated vehicles do you have?
12 of our 25 vehicles carry refrigerated bodies, so there is cold capacity for regular contracts and one-off loads.
Do you run refrigerated transport to regional Victoria?
Yes. We run chilled loads right across Victoria from three bases, Hillside in Melbourne’s north west, Colac in the west and Albury on the NSW border, covering Mornington, Geelong, Warrnambool, Casterton, Shepparton and everywhere in between.
Are chilled loads insured?
Yes. Every load is covered by goods in transit and marine cargo insurance, and our drivers are covered by WorkCover.
Do you take one-off refrigerated jobs?
Yes. Most cold work is regular scheduled runs, but one-off chilled loads are taken on too. Call us on 0468 772 402 to check the dates.
How is cold transport priced?
Every job is quoted on its own: the pickup point, the number of drops, the distance, how often it runs and the size of the load. Send the quote form below or call us on 0468 772 402.
