The transportation of perishable products can be carried out by almost all types of vehicles. However, during transportation in each of the modes of transport, certain conditions must be met, which will guarantee the safety and freshness of the products.
All products that can go bad in a short time can be divided into certain types:
1) Live plants. This group includes seedlings and natural flowers.
2) Products of animal origin, this group includes meat of birds and animals, fish, milk and eggs.
3) Products grown and having a plant structure, this group includes berries and fruits, vegetables, mushrooms.
4) Products obtained during processing include cheeses, fats, dairy products, sausages, frozen vegetables and fruits.
If you apply for transportation services to a trucking company, then you must be provided with a rolling stock for the transportation of perishable products, which must meet the necessary sanitary and hygienic standards.
Before loading perishable goods, the sender must check that the refrigerator is in compliance with the technical specifications, as well as the temperature conditions. Temperature indicators must be recorded in a special checklist for the temperature of the goods.
It is also necessary to monitor the container in which the products are placed before transportation; it must be strong and clean, and must not have any foreign smell. Vegetables and fruits must be transported only in packaged form, and it is necessary to use boxes specially provided for by GOST as a container. Vegetables and fruits that are to be transported are packed tightly in a container so that they do not beat or rub. In addition, fruits must be packed according to the degree of ripeness and types of varieties.
The sender of perishable goods must present for carriage goods that meet certain requirements. Vegetables and fruits should be sent only fresh, dry, they should not be contaminated and have mechanical damage. For example, cherries and cherries need to be translated only if they have a stalk.
Sausages and smoked meats are transported in special boxes that have gaps. Brisket and turkey have a protective layer, so they are transported in tight boxes. Poultry is transported chilled or frozen in boxes, while it must be completely gutted.
Only strict adherence to the rules of transportation will ensure that the products remain fresh and do not deteriorate before they reach store shelves.
