    One of my last OTR loads was a Miller load out of Albany, GA. It was correctly delivered to the 'secure'(?) drop yard but somehow 'vanished'. Received phone calls for months after I departed that carrier....

    I like your attitude! Beer is an essential food, and it is nice that there are drivers out there like yourself that care about us. Thank you. ;-)

    beer loads on a dry van out of golden Colorado year round ..... miller don't care so coors don't care .... if you work for a reefer company and they tell you not to run the reefer don't run the reefer ..... would be nice to have a message from who told you not to run it ... at worst call the osd department and ask them

    Coors can't possibly care. I'm under a beer load now going to Charleston, WV. Got it in Fort Worth and it was 98 degrees yesterday. I am in a dry van. Turning the reefer on or not won't hurt it any way, especially since it will stored at room temps, and be transported in hot trailers at least one more time...that guy's company is being prickish.

    I run more than my share of beer out of Miller Albany, Ga. It is not uncommon for the beer to be on the trailer for 3 weeks, sitting on the lot waiting for me or another one our drivers to pick it up. Even had at least one load from that plant that had kegs on it that had been on the lot for 2 weeks. All this is based on the load time on the bills and the date I hooked to them.

    I've only had 2 receivers take a temperature of the product. I've asked both of them why they do that and both have told me "I just record the temp on the bills". I followed it up by asking what happens if the temp is not right? "Nothing. We just want to know what it is when it gets to our facility."

    Only kegged beer which is non-pasteurized needs to be cool. Canned and bottled beer is dry van freight and shipped and stored dry and is not temperature perishable.

    Pasteurized and chemicalized beer is not strawberries. It won't perish that fast. It was treated with higher temps already, right?
