This 2018 Freightliner Business Class Refrigerated Truck — also commonly referred to as a reefer truck — is a temperature-controlled straight truck built to transport perishable goods at either chilled or frozen temperatures. Refrigerated trucks of this type are a cornerstone of cold-chain logistics, used by food distributors, grocery chains, pharmaceutical suppliers, and meal-kit delivery operations to move temperature-sensitive freight from depot to destination. Freightliner is one of North America's most established commercial truck manufacturers, producing a broad range of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles for freight, utility, and specialty applications.
This particular unit is a former Penske fleet truck with a single-owner history, described by the seller as well maintained and local to British Columbia. It rides on a Freightliner M2 chassis and is powered by a Cummins ISB 6.7-litre six-cylinder diesel engine producing 240 horsepower, paired with an Allison 2200RDS automatic transmission and hydraulic brakes. The odometer shows 315,000 kilometres of predominantly highway mileage, while the engine hour meter reads just 6,393 hours — a notably low figure relative to the distance travelled, consistent with sustained highway running rather than stop-and-go urban use.
The refrigerated body is a 16-foot Collins Manufacturing box equipped with a Thermo King T-680R Whisper refrigeration unit running a three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. That unit is rated for both fresh and frozen applications, giving the operator flexibility across a wide range of cold-chain requirements. Additional equipment on the box includes a thermal partition wall — useful for separating zones at different temperatures — and an electric standby motor, which allows the refrigeration system to run on shore power when the truck is docked, reducing fuel consumption and noise at loading facilities. A 30-gallon fuel tank is fitted, and the truck's gross vehicle weight rating is 26,000 pounds.
Both the chassis and the refrigeration system have been independently inspected and serviced prior to listing. Rig Master Truck and Trailer Repair carried out a full safety inspection including a new Commercial Vehicle Inspection certificate, plus a lube-and-filter service, at a documented cost of $2,200. The Thermo King refrigeration unit was separately inspected and serviced by a Thermo King technician, who noted that the reefer had recently received fresh oil and filters. A full Carfax Canada vehicle history report is available. The listed price is $39,037, with an additional $350 documentation fee plus applicable sales tax. The truck is located in British Columbia, Canada.
