Why Do Drinks Need Special Trucks?

by Rechel

Do you like to drink juice or maybe some cold soda? Have you seen a bottle of beer at the store? These yummy drinks must taste good and stay fresh. Do you know how they get to the store? Let's take a fun look at what keeps them safe along the way.

Drinks Like Beer and Juice Need Cold Trucks

Think about this: Drinks can spoil if they get too hot or too cold! If beer gets warm, it can taste funny. People call this "skunking." If juice gets hot, it can go bad or taste strange. But if they freeze, the bottles might break and the juice may get all weird and chunky.

Here is what happens if drinks are not kept cold:

  • Beer: Tastes bad, goes flat, can spoil
  • Juice: Loses its vitamins, grows germs, might even start to fizz like soda!
  • Soda: Loses bubbles, tastes flat
  • Milk: Turns sour

So, what do we need?

We Need Cold Chain Logistics and Refrigerated Trucks!

At CLW GROUP, we know that good drinks need refrigerated beverage shipping. Our refrigerated trucks, also called reefers, help keep drinks like beer and juice safe.

These cool trucks do a special job:

  • Use temperature control so drinks do not get too hot or cold.
  • Have insulated trailers that trap the cold air inside.
  • Use temperature monitoring systems with special data loggers to check all the time if the drinks are safe.
  • Work using cold chain logistics for drinks from warehouses to stores and even to your home!
  • Why Refrigerated Beverage Shipping is SO Important

    Let’s look at what makes these trucks superheroes for drinks!

    If drinks get too hot:

    • Beer can taste skunky.
    • Juice loses its flavor and vitamins.
    • Microbes (tiny germs) can grow in juice.
    • Costly drinks may need to be thrown away.

    If drinks get too cold and freeze:

    • Bottles might break.
    • Juice gets weird and not yummy.
    • Beer can become cloudy and change taste.

    What Happens If Drinks Get Warm?

    Spoilage is a big risk! When drinks spoil during shipping, stores and companies can lose a lot of money. Studies say that 10–15% of drinks can be lost this way. If a truck brings drinks that got too warm, the whole load could be thrown out, and that might cost even $5,000 to $50,000 or more!

    At CLW GROUP, we stop these problems with our special reefers.

    How Do Our Refrigerated Trucks Work?

    Our trucks use:

    • Heavy insulation to stop heat from coming in.
    • Refrigeration units that make cold air and keep it moving.
    • Temperature loggers to track that cold every minute.
    • Pre-cooling so drinks go into a cold trailer, never a warm one.
    • Proper loading to keep every drink safe.
    • Airflow systems so cold air goes all around the drinks.

    All this means your drinks stay safe from the start to the store!
