    A temperature model that isn’t tested in the field is just theory. At CoolShip, we prefer proof.  Predicting beer temperature might sound like a guessing game, but it’s not. It’s physics, data, and math, all working together to describe how a shipment really behaves on the road. Beer responds to heat in complex ways, and…

    Truck air temperature is not beer tansport temperature. Beer has thermal mass. That means it heats up and cools down slowly compared to the air around it. A brief spike in outside temperature might look alarming on paper, but the beer itself may not budge much at all. Likewise, a sudden cold snap doesn’t instantly…

    Predicting the temperature of a shipment is complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. Most logistics planning looks at the high and low temperatures at the origin and destination. But that leaves out the real story: what happens in between. A truck leaving Denver in 45°F weather and arriving in Dallas at 85°F doesn’t actually…
