Safety & Sustainability
Achieving Both for a Better World
Drivers and Fleet
Our drivers are the best of the best – extensive training and the latest fleet safety and monitoring technology results in drivers that strive to get your goods to you in optimal condition and on time every delivery. With over 90 trucks dispatched across the Southeast each day, Royal prides itself on our trucks looking as good as our produce. That’s why our fleet has an average lifespan of fewer than three years. Each Royal delivery will arrive via a fully refrigerated truck with temperatures maintained to preserve freshness and quality. The temperature of each truck is monitored by our dispatch team via real-time temperature reporting. GPS satellite tracking allows our team to track vehicle locations ensuring we’re meeting delivery windows.
