Refrigerated Food Express Pride of the Fleet

Pride of the RFX Fleet!

If you're a responsible and professional owner-operator with a good driving record and you're looking for a home, you've come to the right place. Owner Operators sign a lease-service agreement and either pull their own trailer, or a trailer owned or leased by the company. Length of hauls vary from local and regional to interstate long-hauls.
