Meat refrigerated keeps meat in an edible state for longer periods by slowing down the growth of dangerous bacteria. The process is a temporary measure used for transporting carcasses whilst in transit. The refrigeration is often begun at the meat’s point of origin in large walk-in cold stores. In meat delivery trucks meat is transferred to the refrigerated mode which keeps the same temperature for the duration of the journey. The meat is then placed back in a cold store again when it reaches its destination. Refrigeration only slows the growth of bacteria, however, it does not halt it as freezing does. If meat is chilled to below 40 degrees Celcius, it is considered to be within safe limits as anywhere from 40 degrees up to sixty degrees is considered to be dangerous. Food scientists have studied the growth of bacteria in a large wide range of conditions and temperatures. They have found that storing meat between 40 and 60 degrees means that the amount of bacte...

Purchasing vehicles for a fleet is challenging. The responsible party has multiple considerations: timing, budget, and vehicle fit with the rest of the fleet. In the midst of estimates, spreadsheets, and software, sometimes a key factor can be overlooked: what works well in the field for technicians? There are both quantitative and qualitative data points to consider. Fleet Managers Need Data Fleet managers tend to operate out of a home office. Technicians are the "boots on the ground." They are the ones crawling in and out of a low-roof van on their knees. They are reaching up multiple times a day to grab a ladder off a materials rack. They are getting parts and tools in and out of compartments several times a day. Work vehicle features and prices may look good in a brochure or on a website, but the application of the vehicle and accessories may not function well in the field. Collaborating with your technicians is a great way to get valuable input ...

  Q: What kind of Van ladder racks do you have? A: We have a WEATHER GUARD on the Nissan with drop-down racks. On both sides, we carry a long ladder and a shorter extension ladder. It’s a WEATHER GUARD on the GMC as well, but they do not drop down. So, tall people have no trouble getting ladders off that. Short people have pulled them from the back or step up on the bumper. The Rams have van ladder racks and they are standard two-sided ladder racks but we just lift them off there because it’s a short van. Q: Any problems with the roof-mounted ladder racks? A: As far as problems go with our racks we have young men in big trucks with lots of stuff in them and not all of them are conscious drivers. A lot of them drive too fast and they drive into trees because there are branches hanging down and they are easy to catch, especially with the high roofs. We need drivers that drive consciously. There are dangers with the high-roof van ladders as well. A lot of ti...

Buying a van is likely to be one of the biggest investments for your business as well as being an essential tool that you need to make sure is fit for purpose. Before you commit to buying anything, you should ask yourself the following questions to understand exactly what it is you're looking for in a van. How Much Space Do I Need? The main function of a van is to transport cargo and tools. They provide a reinforced space so that they can carry heavier and larger loads than a car. You should work out the typical payload you transport day-to-day and how much space that takes up so you know what load area size you need to look for. It's a good idea to give yourself an element of flexibility, but at the same time, you don't want to waste money by paying for a van that is too big. If you occasionally need to transport a larger load, it might be worth hiring a larger van for those times rather than investing in a vehicle with t...

In the early days of a new business venture, it can seem as though you’re spending more money than you’ll ever be able to earn back. Whether that’s renting premises, investing in a company website, buying stock or hiring staff – it can quickly add up. One way in which business owners try to save money during the early days of their ventures is to  rent  a van – however, this isn’t always the most sensible and cost-effective option. Below, we round up the benefits of  buying  a  Commercial van instead. It will save you money Although you will require some capital to buy a van outright, it’s often much cheaper than renting in the long run. Sure, you can pick up a cheap van rental for a couple of hundred pounds per month, but you’ll never actually own the vehicle, and you’ll be liable to pay if you go over your agreed mileage or cause damage to the van. Owning your van gives you a fixed asset – and means that you won’t need to pay out hundreds of pound...

What foodie hasn’t dreamt of trading in their nine to five toil for the culinary ambitions of setting up shop with an Instagram-worthy food truck? If you just felt butterflies in your gut, it’s probably your die-hard enthusiasm getting the best of you and not a sign that it’s time for lunch. If thinking and pondering how much it costs to start a food truck is holding you back from your dreams, hesitate no longer. We’ve done the research and put in the sweat equity for you. Since no small business owner should jump into a $1.2 billion industry blind, we put together a handy reference guide, so you know exactly what to expect. Since food trucks are essentially micro-restaurants on wheels, you might assume that launching a food truck business is going to cost you only a fraction of that of a traditional brick-and-mortar full-service restaurant. To a certain extent, you’re correct. But that doesn’t mean that rolling down Main Street for lunch hour in your new set of shi...
