Cold Chain Packaging Options For Owner-Operators

By January 19, 2021 No Comments

It can be nice to be a fleet driver for a big company. However, not all people are into that. Many folks like being their own bosses. They like having the freedom to choose when they work and what they transport. That is why some drivers elect to be owner-operators. There are plenty of perks that come along with going that route. However, there are also risks. 

For example, if owner-operators can’t secure enough loads, they might not be able to pay their bills. Additionally, if these professionals fail to get shipments to their destinations on time, they can find themselves losing contracts. Then, instead of earning a living, they won’t have much to do but twiddle their thumbs.

As if all that wasn’t enough, there is still something else owner-operators must worry about. They need to protect loads from temperature fluctuations. When truckers fail in this regard, they may have to file claims with their insurers. Nobody wants that to happen because it can make their insurance premiums skyrocket. Make sure the headaches in this section do not arise by investing in these two cold chain packaging options.
