When the Weather Heats Up, Refrigerated Truck Deliveries are Fit to Move
“Oh yay! Another record setting summer!” Said no one, ever.
Summer 2022 is ramping up to be a hot one! But you know who is unfazed? Our refrigerated delivery team. That’s right. Even when things heat up, and they sure haven, haven’t they, our couriers keep it cool. Like, they actually are keeping your stuff cool!
That’s because even in the thick of summer, refrigerated truck deliveries and refrigerated van deliveries are fit to move.
What does fitness look like for a refrigerated delivery team? Well, for starters, it means a full staff of trained professionals. Eagle Express has dispatchers on call 24/7, and trained, certified drivers available any time of day or night. Fitness also means having maintained, sanitized vehicles ready to move when your cargo is ready to move.
Come to think of it, summertime fitness for refrigerated deliveries doesn’t look all that different than summertime fitness for your health. Since our refrigerated truck deliveries are fit to move your cold cargo this season, you’ll have time to worry about ensuring YOU stay fit to move when it comes to exercising in the summertime heat.
Take note of these tips for staying fit to move during summertime in Texas:
Time it right- Just like our scheduled deliveries team moves your cold cargo on a routine schedule, you, too, should pay attention to timing as it relates to summertime fitness. The hours of 12-5PM are the hottest of the day. Plan to work out early in the morning or later at night.
Stay hydrated- You lose 1-3 liters of water per hour of exercise. That means you’ll have to work overtime to get that water back. Drinking during exercise is vital to preventing heat stroke and dehydration. Drinking water after can prevent muscle cramps and fatigue. So drink up! Cheers to summertime fitness!
Fitness snacks- Not that kind of snack. Snacking when it comes to fitness means doing short intervals of exercise a few times a day. Instead of a full “meal” workout, you’re snacking your way to a complete workout. This might make those sweaty fitness sessions more bearable.
Think outside the box- Fitness doesn’t always mean hitting the gym or pounding the pavement. Summertime fitness opens up so many opportunities. From paddling to wakeboarding to inline skating, try something new this summer to get your heartrate going.
Modify- When the heat and humidity rise, you might not be able to perform at the same level as you would on a crisp fall day. Don’t hesitate to modify workouts to match the weather. Slow down, lift lighter, or opt for less strenuous exercise.
Dress the part- Uniformed Eagle Express couriers move your refrigerated deliveries. That’s how you know to trust your courier. You should also dress the part when it comes to summer fitness. Wear light colored clothing that wicks away moisture, as well as a hat. Avoid dark, heavy fabrics, and don’t forget sunscreen on all exposed skin.
Know the warning signs- Avoiding heat stroke should be your ultimate goal of summertime fitness. If you find yourself hot, but not sweating, if you’re confused, have a headache, dizziness, or nausea, get to a cool place and tell someone.
Staying fit during summertime can be a challenge! But with proper planning and a little creativity, you can safely stay fit all season long. That’s exactly how our refrigerated truck couriers stay fit to move during the intense Texas heat: a lot of planning and a little creativity curating logistics solutions for clients around the Metroplex.
