"DTL Transport has handled our stone fruit and citrus shipments out of Fresno for over 6 years. Their reefer trailers are immaculate, drivers arrive pre-cooled and on time, and our produce reaches New York markets with zero temperature spikes. Truly 'One Call Does It All'."

"As a freight broker, finding dependable reefer capacity with verified $1M liability and clean FMCSA standing is top priority. DTL has 98 power units, modern equipment (avg 2.6 yrs old), and fantastic dispatchers like Lucky. Highly recommended!"

"Reliable dispatch and honest communication. When I called after hours they picked up right away and got a reefer load covered for me the same day. DTL is one of the few Fresno carriers that actually answers the phone and follows through."
