Frozen beverages?

Keep driving..will keep it all shook up. Cue the song by Elvis

 

I took a load up to Kalispell MT.

Per the coke manager up there.

Keep the truck idling. The little bit of shaking will keep them from freezing.

 

It was 9*F the night I spent in Kalispell. It won't freeze if you keep the truck idling.

The coke manager was telling me it should be good to -20*F if I keep it idling.

 

Sorry.... I saw the title of the post and immediately thought of the adult frozen beverages..... got my hopes all up....

 

Same with beer/water/whatever. Driving and idling will keep product from freezing if you have a dry van. Most beer and soda is moved by dry van because of weight.

 

Plus it takes a good 36 hours for your load to adjust temperatures. If the product come out of a warm warehouse the core of a pallet helps keep it warm. If you sat all weekend I might be concerned. Like others said, "I'm all shook up". Moving liquids take longer to freeze than one standing still. Not to mention the phosphoric acid and carbonation in it.


If you hear cans popping quickly turn around and head south!!
