Overseas Cargo destined for Pacific Rim destinations can be transferred by TOTE to a number of connecting carriers. Loading in overseas containers at the source in Alaska eliminates transloading and storage requirements. Customers wishing to ship their cargo south prior to designating a Pacific Rim consignee may enlist in TOTE's Transit Storage Program. Produce can be secured at a local cold storage facility for up to six months. Later a specified overseas carrier will transload and ship the cargo in its own equipment.
TOTE processes all domestic and export billings from origin to destination.
All feature the Partlow Recorder, an electronic temperature controller and mechanical recorder. TOTE ensures that its equipment is fully operational even after the trailer has been spotted to a remote location. Refrigeration units are fueled before they are dispatched. However the customer is responsible for whatever refueling is required until the trailer is ready to be picked up. TOTE monitors and maintains the temperature specified on the bill of lading, during transit.
