When to choose FFE (Frozen Food Express)
FFE (Frozen Food Express) is a strong choice in these scenarios:
- Your freight needs continuous refrigeration — frozen foods, dairy, confectionery, fresh meat
- You're shipping cold LTL quantities that don't justify a full reefer truckload
- You want a HACCP-certified, FSMA-compliant asset-based cold chain instead of a brokered reefer network
- You need cold-storage warehousing or pool distribution alongside transportation
Coverage Area
Continental United States (48 states) — 18 refrigerated service centers, same-week service within ~150 miles of each
FFE cargo liability: what's actually covered
Like every LTL carrier, FFE includes only limited cargo liability with a standard shipment, which can be far less than the freight is worth. Here's what their rules tariff provides before any additional coverage:
$3.00/lb
capped at $50,000
$3.00/lb
capped at $50,000
Worth knowing: FFE's tariff reduces liability further on spot-quoted, volume, or FAK-rated freight — which is how most brokered shipments move. Don't assume the standard numbers above apply to a discounted rate.
If your freight is worth more than these limits, note that added cargo coverage isn't offered on refrigerated LTL quotes; estimate your gap with our freight insurance calculator. Compare all 21 carriers' limits in our LTL liability guide, or learn how coverage works on our insurance & cargo protection page.
