Local conditions
Where a 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) fits in Virginia
Past emergency
Richmond's 2025 boil water advisory
From January 6 to 11, 2025, Richmond and parts of Henrico, Hanover, and Goochland were under a boil water advisory after a storm knocked out power at the city's water plant. In a crisis like that, the same storm cut power across the region, and walk-in coolers without power lose inventory within hours; an emergency refrigerated trailer protects it.
Major construction
Major construction across the Commonwealth
VDOT's Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel expansion is scheduled for substantial completion in February 2027, and school projects such as the W.C. Taylor Middle School addition in Warrenton run through 2026. On long projects, long projects need cold storage for crew feeding and displaced kitchens.
Major renovation
Renovations that close food service
Emergency equipment access
Emergency coordination and access
Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235, with county and city emergency managers coordinating locally. Our deliveries are separate from public emergency logistics and travel the I-81, I-64, I-95, and I-66 corridors; we confirm your site access before dispatch.
