Refrigerated Deliveries Stay Cool for the Summer and COVID

What’s worse than a 90% humidity, triple digit Texas summer? Summertime during COVID-19. (Cue The Price is Right sound effect “losing horn”.)

This type of environment makes it pretty difficult to operate a business that requires movement of temperature controlled goods. Wouldn’t you agree, Metroplex restaurants? Hospital labs with medical specimens for transport? Food distributors in North Texas?

The summer heat and pandemic make it difficult for industries across the board. But a great refrigerated deliveries courier can help you keep your cool, in more ways than one. Whether you’re extra hot over the mercury rising or losing your cool over the pandemic looming, Eagle Express Dallas couriers are catering to your cold chain transportation in ways that can bring you relief.

See how Eagle Express is managing refrigerated deliveries despite the literal and metaphorical heat around the state:

Properly Maintained and Sanitized Vehicles

Quite literally, Eagle Express is handling the heat by keeping our vehicles cool. Our refrigerated vans and straight trucks are equipped to handle refrigerated, ambient, and frozen temperatures. In fact, we can handle all three with our tri-temperature controlled vehicles.

Thanks to preventative maintenance, our vehicles are in tip top shape to move your items. And thanks to our commitment to technology, our couriers can monitor the temperature of your cargo before, during, and after transit with accuracy. This ensures your items stay at just the right temperature for the duration of the journey, whether it’s in town or an out of town delivery.

When it comes to turning down the heat on this pandemic, Eagle Express is doing our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We’ve established additional sanitization efforts, equip our drivers with cleaning supplies, masks, and gloves, and offer contactless delivery to maintain physical distancing.

Educated and Certified Delivery Teams

Speaking of those drivers, one of the best ways to ensure refrigerated deliveries stay cool for the summer is by educating and training our expert couriers. Our drivers are certified in HIPAA, OSHA, and FDA standards for safety in transportation. That means we understand the importance of keeping medical items at a specific temperature, maintaining the proper humidity and environment for artwork and technology, and handling food in adherence to FSMA standards.  We also maintain safe handling in the midst of COVID-19, to include hand washing, truck washouts, and best practices outlined by the CDC.

Our Eagle team members are trained and prepared to handle any refrigerated delivery, whether it’s food or medical items. You enjoy fast, secure deliveries and peace of mind when you hand over your logistics to our educated and certified delivery team.

24/7 Availability

Here’s the thing about refrigerated items- they don’t stay cold for long without the help of a controlled environment! When you have a freezer break down, or a lab specimen to move within the hour, you don’t have time to waste. You need a courier that is available 24/7 for urgent refrigerated deliveries. Eagle Express has provided the hot shot delivery Dallas customers can count on for nearly 40 years.

24/7 availably also jives with the newly popular WFH life schedule. Not every employee is keeping traditional office hours any longer. If you’re working from home, you might be burning the midnight oil, or waking up with the sun. No matter when you’re ready to schedule your cold delivery, Eagle Express is here to help.

State of the Art Technology

What does tech have to do with cold chain logistics in the middle of a pandemic? Pretty much everything. Your smart phone is your lifeline. We feel the same way. Our on-the-go couriers remain in constant contact with our dispatch team through cell phones and other tracking technology.

Thanks to our commitment to state of the art tech, our customers can also place their deliveries online or over the phone, limiting contact with one another, further reducing the spread of COVID-19. Transportation and logistics tech also helps you track your items from start to finish, view and pay invoices, and request a free quote for service.

Technology also helps us keep our vehicles at just the right temperature or range of temperatures for your items. Even while driving, our couriers can see that your items are remaining nice and cozy in their required temperature.

In the heat of the Texas summer, and in the middle of a pandemic, no less, keeping your cool can be tough! But Eagle Express is up for the challenge.

Thanks to maintained vehicles, training, 24/7 operations, and state of the art technology, our couriers are equipped to serve your refrigerated delivery needs, even while you’re working remotely.
