Frozen food and produce haulers face a distinct set of risks — refrigeration system failures, temperature excursions, spoilage, transit delays, and the resulting business interruption and liability exposures. Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a focused Frozen Foods or Produce Insurance program designed for commercial truckers who transport perishable frozen goods such as fruits, vegetables, dairy and other temperature-sensitive food products. Through Colonial General’s transportation and refrigerated-cargo expertise, agents and brokers get access to tailored cargo solutions that help protect their clients’ livelihoods and reduce exposure to costly loss events.

Typical fits include: Independent refrigerated owner-operators and small fleets running scheduled frozen-food routes Regional or long-haul refrigerated carriers serving grocery chains, food distributors, wholesalers, or cold storage facilities Fleets with consistent temperature-control protocols and documented maintenance programs Accounts with routine spoilage expectations due to perishability can be considered when the operator demonstrates strong equipment maintenance and loss-control practices. Colonial General will review exposures for route length, commodity mix, refrigeration equipment type (reefer units vs. multi-temp trailers), and loss history when evaluating appetite.
