Why was haulproduce.com created? Simply put, there is a need. That need is good, accurate, reliable and timely information. This knowledge can be used 
by those who are transportating fresh fruits and vegetable to improve their bottom line, making business operations more profitable.
From pre-cooling melons, to proper loading procedures, maintaining refrigeration temperatures and humidity levels, to timely deliveries of perishable items, hauling produce is a different ballgame.
The harvesting and shipping of fresh produce items in a particular area can range from three to four weeks from year to year, depending on the weather. Likewise, the start and completion of shipments of those same items can vary each year.
Additionally, volume from this same district area can change greatly from one year to the next. Then there is always the concern over quality of the product. It is important that the party to whom you are delivering has no surprises relating to quality, size, color, and taste of the product.
Having this information at your finger tips reduces your chances of having the load rejected, or facing a deduction in your freight rate.
It is important to know where loads will be available from season to season. Loadings of lettuce, for example, come from different shipping areas, depending upon the time of the year. Shifts from one shipping area to another may have gaps in some instances, but may overlap in others. These shipping areas also may vary significant in volume from year to year and even during the season itself.
In addition to all these factors, rates for hauling produce can fluctuate greatly, even from the same area to the same destination depending upon everything from truck availability to produce volume and the perishable nature of the product.
In essence, to be a good produce trucker, it requires being a cut above most of types of other haulers. And being among the best, depends on knowing the business and using the information available. Thus, haulproduce.com is here to help.
