Choosing cheaper maintenance—or skipping it altogether—seems like a smart way for businesses to cut costs. That is, until your refrigerated truck breaks down in the middle of the road. Routine maintenance prevents this from happening by keeping your unit running efficiently. When it’s sacrificed for short-term savings, the costs of neglect can quickly become an expensive mistake.
The holidays are a make-or-break season for businesses. From October to December, demand for frozen and chilled goods increases by 100%, especially ham, meat, dairy, alcohol, and desserts. Indeed, profits increase, but so does the pressure for your refrigerated vans to deliver.
Nonstop running and long routes, not to mention the frequent loading and unloading that destabilizes temperature, force refrigerated vans to work harder. The question is: can yours handle the rush?
Humid summer days out, rainy season in! While the cold weather is a welcome relief for many, the rainy season brings challenges for businesses relying on refrigerated transport. Heavy rains and flooded roads endanger not just the state of refrigerated vans, but businesses themselves, too.
For businesses to ensure their fleet can handle the rainy weather, Coolaire lists these essential rainy season maintenance tips built on decades of truck refrigeration expertise:
