More and more cargo is becoming shipped via tractor trailers these days. In fact, according to research from Select USA, trucks moved over 10 billion tons of freight in 2016 alone. Why? Well, for one, the method is often cheaper than shipping items via plane. Plus, the goods usually arrive at their destinations quickly, sometimes, as soon as the very next business day.
However, bad things can happen when operators fail to protect the products adequately, which in this case, are beverages. For instance, if wine gets exposed to hot temperatures for an extended period, the taste and color can change in a hurry, and not in a good way. The liquid inside the bottle may gain an unpleasant look that is hazy in nature. As for the taste, think of it this way, fruity, yummy wines can gain an acidic, nasty flavor.
Therefore, logistics companies must think outside of the box to find efficient ways to protect the wine. There are other types of beverages that need to be safeguarded as well. For instance, if canned cokes get too hot or cold, they can explode and cause a sticky mess. When water bottles are subjected to freezing temperatures for a long time, these containers can bust too.

High-Quality Items Worthy Of Adding To Any Fleet
1. SureTemp Premium Container Blanket
There are two different models of the SureTemp Premium Container Blanket. Both options are lightweight and simple to install. The single bubble design is mainly used for heat protection. It is reusable and perfect for adding value to your fleet. However, the double bubble foil insulation blanket is a choice too. It protects against heat and cold.

2. SureTemp Prime Pallet Cover
If you have a mixed shipment and are worried about heat affecting beverages on only a couple of pallets, the SureTemp Prime Pallet Covercan eliminate those concerns. Like the blankets, these coverings are also lightweight and easy to install. The outer metalized film creates a radiant barrier to protect against heat.
