What to Expect in High-Quality Cold Truck Service Chicago

Posted by johnpreston on December 1st, 2016

The best provider of cold truck service Chicago must go beyond the refrigerated trucks and the specialized components that keep their temperatures consistent. As a client, you must also consider the logistics of the services provided, especially for on-time supply-side delivery requirements. These can be affected by many challenges, including increases in quality standards; sensitivity and volume of goods transported; and varying duration of service, based on trucking routes, among others.

And there are other relevant factors in the changing industry of cold logistics. Understanding them will assist in determining the best option for your refrigerated truck service Chicago.

Rise in Regulation

The tighter regulations imposed on production and distribution chains are prompting both producers and distributors to implement changes in their own processes.  For example, in the United States, an increasing number of pharmaceutical products are now required to be moved via temperature-controlled transportation.

Many U.S. companies are also adopting solutions for effective and efficient documentation of every step in the supply chain, including recall systems, which are being changed to comply with stricter regulations. For these reasons, products like fresh produce and meat should be traceable to their points of origin, with documentation verifying temperature consistency from point to point.

Due to these regulations, it is best to select a process refrigeration service Chicago based on compliance to both government and industry standards. Pre-regulation rules may not only be outdated, but may also result in a more relaxed adherence to quality.

Increase in Focus on Product Sensitivity and Quality

Businesses in the food industry should be aware of the increased focus on the integrity and quality of food products nationally. Otherwise, your business can lose its customers, in part due to their negative experiences with your food products.

Food industry cold chain processes should incorporate the following best practices:

•   Decrease the risks of changes in temperature during transport (i.e., avoid potential variance in taste and texture of food products when storage is more than a degree or so above or below the recommended temperatures);
•   Decrease the amount of processing for certain food products, particularly proteins; and
•   Increase focus on the unique needs for cold transport of premium products with greater temperature sensitivity and shorter shelf life.

Just as food industry facilities can have several different temperature zones to accommodate the varying temperature needs of products, so too can refrigerated trucks accommodate varying temperature needs in the transport of these products.

Conclusion

As a client of cold refrigeration services, you must adopt a proactive approach in choosing the best services. You have to comply with the stricter regulations imposed by governmental agencies as well as meet the increased demands for quality by customers.  Your success in this service area and its impact on your bottom line will depend on how proactive is your approach.
