It's pulled live from FMCSA's Company Census File — the same MCS-150 data FMCSA itself publishes as open data — filtered to active, for-hire carriers physically based in New Jersey that report hauling reefer freight. The directory refreshes weekly, so counts reflect FMCSA's most recent published data, not a one-time snapshot.
Check that their authority is active, cargo insurance and (for brokers) bond are on file and meet the minimums, and there's no history of double-brokering or unresolved complaints. Use our free Carrier & Broker Lookup tool to pull a carrier's live FMCSA record by DOT or MC number — it shows authority status, insurance on file, and safety rating in real time.
A reefer (refrigerated trailer) keeps cargo at a set temperature in transit, which is required for produce, meat, dairy, and other perishables — reefer freight typically pays more than dry van because of the added equipment cost and stricter delivery windows.
This directory is a free research and verification tool built on public FMCSA data — it isn't a load board or brokerage. Grow Trucking is a dispatch service: we work for owner-operators and small fleets, finding and booking freight on their behalf. If you're a carrier looking to run more of this equipment type in this state, that's exactly what a dedicated dispatcher does.
