How we plan getting a trailer to Murfreesboro
Every rental in Murfreesboro starts with the address, not a warehouse. Here is how a request for Murfreesboro, TN moves from call to cold storage:
- Call or send the form. Tell us the street address in Murfreesboro, what failed or what you are planning, and the temperature you need. Emergencies go to (888) 385-5513.
- We match the unit. A 12 ft refrigerated trailer suits tight lots and small kitchens, a 20 ft trailer holds more, and a refrigerated container is for bulk storage over longer jobs.
- Roads that serve Murfreesboro include I-24 and I-840. We confirm which approach suits a trailer, how the truck turns onto your site, and whether anything on the last few blocks is posted or restricted.
- Murfreesboro is roughly 206 straight-line miles east of Memphis, Tennessee's largest city on our list. A longer trip means we plan routes, weather, and delivery timing with more care, and we confirm both in your quote.
- We confirm power and placement. The 20 ft trailers list 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps with a NEMA plug, so have an electrician confirm your service. Pick a firm, level spot with room for the door to open and for the truck to reach it.
- Delivery and setup. On site, setup takes about 1 hour for a refrigeration unit, plus 4 to 6 hours if a ramp is needed or 5 to 15 minutes for stairs. Delivery timing, servicing, and minimum terms are written into your quote, and an inquiry does not reserve equipment.

What drives cold-storage demand around Murfreesboro
Tennessee has warm, humid summers with moist Gulf air, and highs from the low 80s F in the eastern mountains to the low 90s F in West Tennessee. Winters are cool, with January lows from under 25 F in the far northeast to over 30 F in the southwest, and occasional Arctic outbreaks. The hottest stretch runs june to August, and the coldest december to February. Both extremes put stress on commercial refrigeration in Murfreesboro.
Rutherford County's largest employers include Nissan (8,000), Amazon (2,700), Middle Tennessee State University (2,205), Ingram Content Group and Taylor Farms (1,700 each). Taylor Farms is a fresh-produce processor, so cold chain capacity matters locally.
Annual events include Main Street Jazzfest in May, International FolkFest in June and Uncle Dave Macon Days in July. Outdoor festivals can need temporary food service and cold storage.
An EF4 tornado on April 10, 2009 killed two people and destroyed 117 homes in Murfreesboro. Tornado outages can disrupt food businesses.
Tornado risk in Tennessee (Mostly spring (large outbreaks recorded in March and April)): Tennessee averages about 30 tornadoes a year. April 2011 brought a state-record 93 tornadoes, and the March 2000 outbreak caused 25 deaths. Tornado damage can knock out power and spoil food in restaurants, grocers and warehouses, which can create a need for emergency cold storage or a temporary kitchen.
Flood risk in Tennessee (Year-round; heavy events in spring and late summer): Nashville received 13.6 inches of rain on May 1-2, 2010, and McEwen set a 24-hour state record of 20.7 inches in August 2021. Remnants of Hurricane Helene caused 18 deaths in September 2024. Floods can close kitchens and cut power for days, which can create a need for temporary refrigeration and warewashing while a facility is repaired.
TVA supplies power to about ten million people through 153 local power companies across Tennessee and parts of six neighboring states. Because one wholesale supplier serves most of the state, grid emergencies can affect many local utilities at once.

Food and drink production is Tennessee's second-largest manufacturing sector, with brands such as Bush's Beans, Jack Daniel's, Little Debbie and Mountain Dew made in the state. Food manufacturers and co-packers often need temporary refrigerated capacity during plant outages, expansions or seasonal peaks.

Requirements for renting a refrigerated trailer in Murfreesboro
Renting a refrigerated trailer in Murfreesboro is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.
The Tennessee Department of Health says permanent food establishments must submit plans and specifications before construction or remodeling and be inspected before a permit is issued. Anyone placing a mobile kitchen or dishwashing trailer at a fixed site should check plan review needs with the health department.
State law defines a temporary food service establishment as one operating at a fixed location with an organized temporary event for more than one day and up to fourteen consecutive days. Event kitchens that run longer than 14 days may fall outside the temporary category and need a different permit.
- Customer type: commercial or industrial only (restaurants, grocers, healthcare, schools, hospitality, distributors, government). We do not rent to residential customers.
- Power: 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps for the 20 ft trailers, with a NEMA plug. Ask your electrician to confirm the circuit at your Murfreesboro site before delivery.
- Placement: a firm, level surface with room for the trailer, its door swing, and the delivery truck. Soft ground, steep slopes, and overhead lines are the usual problems.
- Access: send the gate or door width, any low clearances, and the best approach into the property.
- Permission: if you rent the property, get the owner or manager's approval to place a trailer. For food-safety questions, contact Tennessee Department of Health, Environmental Health (Food Service program).
- Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.
