In food distribution the washout is not housekeeping, it is a condition of the next load. A reefer that carried fish cannot carry produce, a trailer with residue on the floor will be rejected at the dock, and odour held in reefer insulation and drain channels survives a wash that only addresses the floor.
Appearance matters too, and more than in most freight: these units deliver to grocery and restaurant customers whose own inspectors see them.
Scope
- Reefer washouts including drain channels and odour treatment
- Food-grade and packaged-goods trailer washouts
- Dry van washouts between load types
- Tractor and trailer exterior washing on a standing cycle
- Dock apron and loading area pressure washing
- Dated wash record per unit, included in the contract condition report
Recovered, not run out the back doors
Rinse water in a food application carries organic load, and the default in this trade is to let it run out of the rear doors onto the yard and into the drain. It is vacuumed out of the trailer instead, which is both the compliant answer and the reason the trailer is dry enough to load when the crew leaves.
