Logistical Standards

Refrigerated Transit Protocols

Every reefer unit maintains strict 38 to 42 degree Fahrenheit air circulation from bayou loading to Texas commercial gates. Top-sack ice blankets preserve shell moisture without submerging sacks in meltwater, preventing asphyxiation during transit.

Automated telematics track reefer vault temperatures continuously, logging digital manifests reviewed at receiving docks. Drivers log humidity checks at border waypoints, verifying live vigor so zero dead loss claims arise during kitchen prep.

Dock Verification

Texas Boil Operators Report

Our Friday truck backed into our Houston bay at 5:15 AM sharp. Sacks were cold, dripping wet, and crawling vigorously when we dumped the first batch.

Marcus T., Gulf Coast Boil House

Running three boil spots in Fort Worth means late trucks kill service. All Kings has hit our 6:00 AM receiving window all season without excuses.

Clint R., Red River Seafood Co.

Their ice-blanket protocol keeps sack mortality under one percent. We weigh and inspect every sack right off the lift gate.
