Why Sanitization Matters

A reefer that looks clean can still carry bacteria, mold, or residue from a previous load. Standard washing removes visible dirt, but sanitization eliminates the contaminants that cause foodborne illness, product rejection, and regulatory violations. For haulers transporting produce, meat, dairy, or frozen goods, a sanitized reefer isn’t optional — it’s the difference between a load accepted at the dock and one that gets turned away.

What We Clean — Reefers

Refrigerated trailers (reefers): we clean interior walls, floor, ceiling, drains, and door seals. Every reefer wash includes a full interior cleaning followed by a sanitization step. We pay particular attention to corners, drains, and seals where contamination tends to hide.

What We Clean — Hopper Bottoms

We provide interior washouts for grain, feed, and dry bulk trailers. Cross-contamination between loads is a real concern in dry bulk hauling, and regular washouts prevent residue from one load affecting the next.

Built for Food Haulers

Our team is trained in food safety protocols and understands what inspectors and food producers look for. We maintain compliance with HACCP principles and FDA food safety guidelines. Whether you’re hauling for a major food distributor or running independent loads, we deliver the same standard of cleanliness and documentation.

Our Process

At Lubbock Allstar, we take a meticulous approach to washing and sanitizing reefers. Our team follows a systematic cleaning and sanitization process for every reefer, ensuring trailers leave our facility ready to pass inspection.

1. Inspection

We assess the trailer's condition and identify areas needing special attention.

2. Pre-Rinse

High-pressure rinse to remove loose debris and surface residue.

3. Cleaning

Application of cleaning agents to break down stubborn residue, oils, and organic matter.

4. Sanitization

Industry-approved sanitizing agents applied to eliminate bacteria and contaminants.

5. Final Check

Visual inspection to confirm the trailer is clean, sanitized, and ready for loading.

6. Compliance

We document the wash so you have a record for your customers, inspectors, and your own files.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a reefer washout take?

Most reefer washouts take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the condition and size of the trailer.

Do you sanitize or just wash?

We do both. Every reefer wash includes a sanitization step to kill bacteria and meet food safety standards. This is standard on every wash, not an add-on.

Do you wash hopper bottoms?

Yes. We handle hopper bottom washouts for grain, feed, and dry bulk trailers. Call to schedule.

How often should I have my reefer sanitized?

Best practice is a washout and sanitization between every load, especially when switching product types. At minimum, regular sanitization helps you stay compliant and avoid rejected loads.

What standards do you maintain?

We maintain compliance with HACCP principles and FDA food safety guidelines. Our team is trained in food safety protocols and understands what inspectors and food producers look for.
