How to reduce risk in the food transportation industry
Take action to mitigate risk in your cold chain by adopting the following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
If food is improperly handled, there is risk of temperature excursions, which can negatively impact public health, reduce product shelf life, or lead to rejected loads. Not only will any of these situations increase your operating costs, but they will negatively impact your reputation within the industry.
e-Rail Safe Certified Dealers
e-Rail Safe certification is required to enter rail yards and facilities across the United States. Without this certification, access to rail yards can be denied, causing major problems for your business. If technicians cannot enter the yard, loads can be lost to unit shutdowns, costing you money and customer loyalty. Thermo King dealers are e-Rail Safe certified, allowing them to access all rail yards nationwide.
