Refrigerated Trucking in Selma, California
A three-truck reefer carrier hauling produce, fresh and frozen meat, and dry freight out of the Central Valley since 2022.
Cold Freight Out of the Raisin Capital
Ninety percent of America’s raisins are grown within eight miles of our yard. That’s the kind of place Selma is — a farm town at the crossroads of Highway 99 and Highway 43, surrounded by more perishable freight per square mile than almost anywhere in the country.
Spider Trans hauls that freight. We’re a refrigerated carrier running three trucks out of Selma, moving produce, fresh and frozen meat, and dry goods for growers, packers and distributors across the Central Valley. We’ve held active interstate authority since 2022.
We’re not the biggest carrier you’ll call. That’s rather the point. When you book a load with us, you’re talking to the person responsible for it — not a dispatch desk three states away that treats your pallets as a line item. You get a direct number, a straight answer on whether we can cover your lane, and the same small group of drivers every time.
What We Haul
Temperature Controlled
Reefer trailers running anywhere from −10°F to 55°F, with the set point confirmed before the doors close.
Truckload Shipping
Your freight, our trailer, nothing else on board. Direct from pickup to delivery with no cross-docking.
Dedicated Fleet
Committed capacity for shippers with recurring volume, so a truck is there when your season hits.
Fresh & Frozen Meat Transport
Protein moves on a tight thermal window. We run it cold, sealed and documented.
Why Central Valley Shippers Call Us
You get the same trucks and the same drivers
Three trucks and three drivers means the person handling your load already knows your dock, your paperwork and how you like it loaded. Continuity isn’t a policy here — it’s just arithmetic.
Temperature is set before we roll, not after
The reefer is pre-cooled and the set point confirmed against your bill of lading before the doors close. Most temperature claims trace back to a trailer that was never brought down to spec in the first place.
We answer the phone
One number, answered by someone who knows where the trucks are. If we can’t cover your lane, you’ll hear that immediately instead of losing a day waiting on a callback.
Verifiable, not just claimed
USDOT 3973481. MC-1485546. Active interstate authority since 2022, no reportable crashes in the last 24 months. Look us up on FMCSA’s SAFER database before you call — we’d rather you did.
We Know These Lanes Because We Live On Them
Selma sits where Highway 99 meets Highway 43, which makes it the practical hub for southeast Fresno County and the top of Tulare and Kings counties. Highway 180 is eleven miles north. Highway 41 is fifteen miles northwest. Interstate 5 is fifty-two miles west when a load needs to head up or down the state.
What that means in practice: we can be at a packing shed in Kingsburg, Parlier or Fowler inside fifteen minutes, at most Fresno cold-storage docks in half an hour, and in Visalia or Hanford well within the hour. When a shipper calls at eleven in the morning needing something moved that afternoon during peak harvest, proximity is the whole ballgame.
We also know what the calendar does to this valley. Tomatoes run July through September. Table grapes and raisins hit late summer into fall. Citrus carries the winter. Capacity gets tight exactly when everyone needs it at once, which is why shippers with recurring volume tend to lock in a dedicated arrangement before the season rather than during it.
Where We Haul
Our trucks run west cost to south, and south to west coast.
