Notes for engaging in cold chain logistics
Notes for cargo acceptance: check the status of the cargo, whether there is any damage or deterioration; check whether the temperature recorder is working properly; check whether the refrigerated truck is polluted. Cargo loading precautions: prioritize loading of temperature-sensitive cargo; ensure that the cargo is stacked securely to avoid moving or tipping the cargo during transportation; avoid loading incompatible cargoes together.
Precautions for the transportation process: keep the temperature of the refrigerated truck within a suitable range; avoid transportation delays as much as possible; check the temperature and status of the goods regularly; take timely measures if abnormalities occur. Precautions during unloading: make sure the goods have been cooled to the appropriate temperature before unloading; avoid damage or deterioration of the goods during unloading; clean up the inside of the refrigerated truck after unloading.
