Questions to ask

  • Do they support your temperature range and truck size?
  • How do they pre-cool and check the box before loading?
  • Can they share temperature information in transit, and in what form?
  • What is the plan if a truck breaks down?
  • What are the damage/cargo-insurance terms?
  • Who is your main coordinator and how do you reach them?

Tip

Start with one trial trip on a real route, and put temperature, timing and communication agreements in writing.
