Onion transportation requirements and conditions
As with transporting fresh carrots, cabbage, or beets, refrigerated onion shipments require preparation. This includes compiling documentation, verifying the truck and cargo meet sanitary standards, and configuring equipment to maintain required conditions.
Sanitary and Hygiene Standards
Only pre-sorted produce showing no spoilage signs is approved for transport. Bulbs with rot, mold, or visible damage are removed. Critical note: All onion varieties (yellow, red, leek) emit ethylene. Therefore, joint transport with certain vegetables is prohibited: - Allowed: Potatoes, carrots, beets, garlic (ethylene-tolerant) - Prohibited: Greens, berries, cucumbers, fruits (ethylene-sensitive) Packaging: - Optimal: Dry, clean fabric/mesh bags or wooden crates
Documentation for Meat Transportation
Required documents for onion and vegetable transportation verify legal compliance and resolve potential disputes by containing all essential shipment information.
- Consignment note. This document lists all items in the shipment, detailed cargo information (weight/volume, packaging type, value), and records vehicle and driver details.
- Waybill. In addition to driver and vehicle details, this document records route information (departure/arrival times, stops, fuel consumption, etc.).
- Cooperation agreement. Concluded between the carrier and client, it outlines detailed service terms.
Like all fresh vegetables, onions (regardless of variety) require quality certificates and inspection reports in the document package. The driver must carry: - Valid driver's license - Medical record - Vehicle authorization - Technical inspection certificate - Insurance documents
Vehicle requirements
The key requirement is proper equipment. Refrigerated trucks with specialized systems allow temperature adjustment across wide ranges, enabling safe transport of various onion varieties with minimal spoilage risk. Our company operates SITRAK CH7-MAX and VOLVO FH tractors with refrigerated semi-trailers of varying capacities.
