In recent years, the development level of domestic logistics market has been continuously improved, especially in the cold chain transportation industry. In addition to the increasing transportation demand for quick-frozen food, packaged cooked food, fast food raw materials and cold fresh food, the addition of medicine and other products has also promoted the development of cold chain transportation to a certain extent. In addition, the development of e-commerce, new retail formats and the continuous improvement of cold chain infrastructure, Cold chain transportation has almost become the pyramid tip of the logistics industry and has sprung up in a red sea.

In contrast, in other transportation fields, due to more cars and less goods, the phenomenon that bad money expels good money is more common. Multiple factors urge car owners to start planning a new way out, or change their line directly, or change the track. Therefore, cold chain transportation has become the object of many car owners.

However, is cold chain transportation really as easy as laymen think? I'm afraid not.

Cold chain goods are different from ordinary goods. They are generally "delicate" and "difficult to serve" fresh and high-quality goods with high added value. If there are bumps or corruption accidentally, it goes without saying that the freight will be deducted. It's no joke to do business in vain. Therefore, the configuration of vehicles used for cold chain transportation is usually much higher than that of ordinary transportation vehicles. Tractor and semi-trailer often cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, and the investment is quite high.

When the refrigerator truck is ready, it is also faced with finding the source of goods, loading, transportation, unloading, delivery, etc. any step needs to be paid attention to everywhere. It is really not so easy for novice car owners who have just entered the industry. So, what problems should novice cold chain owners pay attention to so as not to draw water with a bamboo basket? Let's start with each step and analyze it one by one.

1、 Looking for supply.

The source of goods is the main economic source of transport owners. Only when the source of goods is stable can we ensure the stability of income to a certain extent. If there is a teacher to impart experience, it would be great. If not, where can we try to find the source of goods?

1. All kinds of goods finding platforms and sharing economy have spawned many app platforms for resource sharing. Novice car owners can download more and pay more attention to them at ordinary times.

2. Local life platform can release demand information on the platform to find suitable business.

3. Explore the way to physical stores, such as supermarkets, restaurants, food stores, etc. contact more cold chain service providers to see if they need cooperation.

4. Contact companies with cold chain needs, such as food factories, pharmaceutical factories, processing factories, etc.

5. Use social platforms, especially industry groups or industry forums, to find suitable businesses or customers.

6. Keep in touch with your relatives and friends and publicize your refrigerator truck resources. Acquaintance economy is also a way to solve the supply of goods.

7. Find a logistics company to consult and associate with.

In addition, if you find the source of goods, you should be good at accumulating and maintaining customers. After all, once you are born and twice cooked. If the first cooperation can leave a good impression on the other party, you may take the initiative to find you next time.

2、 Loading.

1. Check the equipment in the carriage to determine its operation performance, and take protective measures to avoid damage during loading.

2. Precooling of the carriage: precooling the carriage in advance according to the transportation temperature requirements of the goods. In addition, close the door after loading and defrost manually for about half an hour, which can maximize the efficiency of the evaporator and reduce fuel consumption.

3. During the acceptance, carefully count the number of goods and check whether there is damage. The frozen goods should be optimistic about whether there is thawing. The maturity of fruits and vegetables should be optimistic (the mature goods are prone to damage or deterioration). Remember to take photos and keep certificates, contact relevant personnel, and write the situation on the shipping documents to avoid unclear explanation after reaching the destination.

4. For cargo division, goods of different types and different temperature requirements cannot be placed in the same box, and the carriage can be divided into independent small boxes.

5. When loading, lay a layer of cargo tray in the compartment, and reserve space on the roof and in front of the compartment to make the cold air circulation more sufficient; Try not to open the door too wide to reduce the entry of heat and moisture, which is more beneficial to the preservation and quality of goods; Pay attention not to cover the inlet and outlet of the evaporator during loading.

6. After loading, pay attention to check the inside of the compartment. After confirming that it is correct, close the tailgate and check whether it is sealed; If the tailgate cannot be closed temporarily, special personnel shall be arranged to watch the goods until the tailgate is sealed to prevent the loss of goods.

3、 Transportation.

There are two main keys in the transportation process: safe driving and temperature regulation.

I won't say much about safe driving. This is the most critical and the top priority. Without safety, the rest will be meaningless.

The second is temperature regulation. The temperature setting during transportation should be determined according to the specific situation of transportation. If you don't know the temperature setting of the cargo box, you can communicate with the cargo owner and set it after knowing it clearly.

In addition, on the premise of ensuring driving safety on the way, pay attention to or adjust the temperature in the container to avoid too high or high. If there is a car attendant, it is best for him to be specially responsible for adjusting the temperature. Now many refrigerators can automatically adjust the temperature without human intervention. In the process of transportation, you only need to pay attention when parking, so as to avoid cargo damage caused by automatic adjustment failure.

4、 Unloading and delivery.

When the destination is reached, unloading and delivery cannot be taken lightly. Open the tailgate slowly and carefully, because the goods may shift after bumping all the way. When opening the tailgate, prevent the goods from tipping.

Just like when loading, as long as the tailgate is opened, the owner should pay attention to the goods at any time to avoid loss. After unloading the goods, it shall be handed over to the owner in time.

5、 Clean the cargo compartment.

Generally, when unloading, the thin ice in the cargo box will melt, and then the operators walk back and forth, which is prone to sludge; In addition, the ice water melted during transportation is also easy to cause peculiar smell in the cargo compartment, affecting the next use and the quality of goods. Therefore, it is important to clean the cargo compartment in time after completing a transportation.

In addition to the above precautions, it is also very important to choose a high-performance disc axle and air suspension. After all, "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools". The goods transported by the cold chain are special, which can not be placed for a long time, but also be afraid of knock and collision. In case of potholes and uneven road conditions, it is very easy to cause cargo damage. Darong disc axle is made of high-strength, lightweight and high-quality raw materials through the "one-piece" axle casting process and through 15 production processes. It has lighter self weight and stronger heavy load performance. The partially strengthened square shaft beam has large section coefficient and superior torsional and bending resistance. The air suspension built with the 3D molding technology of Darong group has multiple advantages in cargo protection, driving safety and tire wear prevention, so as to ensure vehicle attendance and improve safety performance and economic benefits.
