From chocolates melting in the heat to pharmaceuticals degrading in the cold, the delicate balance of temperature-controlled shipping is a dance Echo Global Logistics has worked hard to master.
Frank Hurst, Echo’s executive vice president of less-than-truckload, has been a big part of that work. He joined FreightWaves’ Mike Baudendistel and Grace Sharkey on a recent episode of The Stockout to discuss some of the challenges in the refrigerated LTL segment, as well as Echo and Roadtex’s road map for the future.
Within this space, Hurst explained, even minor temperature changes can have major consequences. He emphasized Echo’s commitment to precision and reliability in a mode that requires both.
