Perishable goods include goods, the transportation of which must be carried out in compliance with the temperature regime, individual for each type of such goods. Accordingly, there are special requirements for vehicles carrying out this type of transportation. You can learn more on trucking dispatching course.

Perishable goods are divided into several groups:
– products of plant origin: fruits, berries, vegetables, mushrooms, etc.;
– products of animal origin: meat of various animals and birds, fish, caviar, milk, eggs, etc.;
– processed products: dairy products, various fats, frozen fruits, sausages and other meat products, cheeses, etc.;
– Living plants: seedlings, flowers, etc.

There are quite strict requirements for the transportation of each of these groups, the main of which is the obligatory observance of the temperature regime. The temperature at which the complete safety of the cargo is ensured may be different for each product, and therefore, in these rules, the “List of perishable goods presented for transportation by road, and the temperature regime for their transportation” is separately highlighted.
In other cases, when transporting perishable goods not specified in this list, there are requirements for the temperature regime specified by the consignor, provided that this temperature regime corresponds to the technical capabilities of the refrigeration unit.

In any case, when carrying out the transportation of perishable goods, we advise you to familiarize yourself in detail with the general rules for the carriage of goods by road, especially in the part that relates directly to the rules for the carriage of perishable goods.
