Four ways to keep your produce cold on the road.

From full loads to urgent orders, your goods travel in a trailer set to your temperature and monitored from loading to delivery.

    The setpoint held, from the loading dock to the delivery dock.

    Cold, once lost, cannot be recovered. Every load follows the same five steps, in this order.

    1. 1

      Your request and your setpoint

      Loading place and time, destination, product, number of pallets and temperature. You get a detailed price and a lead time.

    2. 2

      The trailer is pre-cooled before loading

      The trailer reaches the dock already at temperature. Cold goods loaded into a warm trailer lose hours of shelf life.

    3. 3

      Core temperature check at loading

      The driver probes the produce temperature and writes it on the consignment note. A pallet that is too warm is flagged before departure, not on arrival.

    4. 4

      A monitored journey

      The recorder logs the trailer temperature for the whole trip. We follow every run and tell you straight away about any delay.

    5. 5

      Delivery and temperature log

      Delivery in your time slot, consignment note signed by the consignee, temperature log sent on request.

    Every product has its own temperature.

    Lettuce travels at 0 °C, bananas at 13 °C, tomatoes never below 8 °C. Pick a product to see the reference setpoint and the loading precautions.

    Reference values for transport. The binding setpoint is always the one in your transport instructions, written on the consignment note.

    Purposes and legal bases: handling your quote and carrier pack requests, then managing the business relationship: TMM Express’s legitimate interest in responding to its business customers and prospects (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or steps taken before entering into a contract and performance of the contract when you act in your own name (Article 6(1)(b)); keeping accounting records (legal obligation: Article 6(1)(c), article L123-22 of the French Commercial Code); assessing job applications (TMM Express’s legitimate interest in recruiting: Article 6(1)(f)).

    Server logs: on every visit, the host automatically records the IP address, the date and time of the connection and the page requested, to keep the site secure and working properly (legitimate interest: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). These logs are kept for no more than 12 months and then deleted.

    Transfers outside the European Union: your data is hosted in the European Union. Should a provider ever process it outside the Union, the transfer would be covered by an adequacy decision or by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
