Beverages aren’t necessarily the most challenging things to transport, but they can be. For example, if wines get too hot while being shipped, their colors, tastes, and aromas can change. Or, what if water bottles are in the trailer when the temperature dips well below freezing? That’s going to cause the H2O to freeze, which, in turn, could make the containers bust. So, from those two scenarios, you can probably see where this is headed.
You need to take the time to protect your beverage shipments from extreme heat and cold. That will ensure the goods make it to their destinations in tip-top shape, and you won’t have to worry about disgruntled clients demanding refunds or exchanges. Therefore, now the question is, “How do you give beverages this protection?”. Obviously, there are different ways to accomplish the feat.
Reefer Trailers Are Expensive, To Say The Very Least
For instance, you could run out and buy a reefer unit. Then, you’d be able to keep the temperature inside the trailer nice and cozy at all times. But unless you have a ton of money to invest, that might not be the best choice. According to Freight Relocators, a brand-new reefer trailer will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of $68K to $70K. Besides the initial price, you’ll also have to pay someone to perform maintenance on the unit. The point is that owning a reefer isn’t in the cards for everyone.
