Keeping Things Cold on the Road
Interested to know how long things in refrigerator stay cold while traveling and if anything in the freezer thaws out if we're on, say, an 8 hour road day. Just bought a TT and haven't used it yet.

In perishible foods.we follow a practice called
Dont break the cold chain.
Cold food must be under constant refridgeration
I here ya but do you really think that is the way it happens?I have sons aand relatives in the grocery business.My father-in-law retired as an Albertsons manager.
Milk sometimes sits on the doc for hours,frozen food on the floors to be put up by the freight crew or when they get to it.Refrigerated items do not always go strait to the cooler because of lack of room in the coolers for pallets etc.
But I understand how it is supposed to be in a real world.To bad it isn't.
That is a poorly run operation.
Milk goes straight frm the truck to the cooler. If the dairy cooler is full which it should not be,if the orders are right,then it goes in the meat or produce coolers. It NEVER. Sits out.
Frozen is the same way. We even have insulated pallet wraps for when it cant be stocked faster than 20 minutes.
Every minute out of reftdgeration, degrades quality,and increases the risk of food poisoning.
