5 Scary but true things about Heat Season

November 1st is generally the time of year that most shippers start to require heat on liquid chemical shipments. In light it coinciding with Halloween, I thought I'd share “5 Scary but true” things about Heat Season.

Not all heated shipments are shipped with heat!

Many large LTL carriers do not actually heat the shipment. Because some of the larger LTL carriers move freight between their heated cross dock facilities, they take the gamble that the product won't freeze in the short trips between heated warehouses. They still charge for “protect from freeze” service and hopefully their gamble pays off and they have less claims than the amount collected in “protect from freeze” revenue.

Liquid in motion, generally doesn't freeze!
