Should I Lease a Reefer Truck for Cold Chain Delivery in Singapore?

Is Renting Refrigerated Trucks the Best Cold Chain Solution in Singapore?

If you're in the business of food, pharmaceuticals, or any product that requires temperature regulation, you already know the challenges of cold chain logistics. In Singapore, many companies consider renting refrigerated trucks or leasing full-day reefer services—but is that the most efficient option?

Let’s break it down.

🚚 Traditional Cold Chain Delivery: Leasing Reefer Trucks & Hiring Drivers

Many businesses still default to renting refrigerated vehicles, especially when they need to maintain frozen or chilled conditions. But this approach often comes with hidden complexity and overheads:

  • Truck rental fees: $180–$250/day on average
  • Hiring drivers: Additional cost, plus training or coordination
  • Limited routing flexibility: One fixed schedule, minimal drop-offs
  • Underutilised capacity: Often underfilled unless you have high volumes
  • No scalability: Difficult to scale up or down for peak vs low periods

This model may work for large-scale distributors—but for modern businesses, it often means paying more than needed for logistics you don’t fully use.
