Food Logistics

Food logistics is one of the transport disciplines that directly concerns human health and therefore demands the utmost care. Food products are sensitive to several variables at once: temperature, humidity, hygiene and time. The shelf life of fresh fruit and vegetables can be measured in hours, while for frozen products even a deviation of a few degrees can jeopardise product safety. For dry foods, odour contamination and humidity control are critically important. At RSS Transport, we manage food logistics with a holistic approach that puts food safety and hygiene principles at its centre. We define the right temperature scenario for each product group — fresh, chilled and frozen — and carry your product under the conditions it requires in our temperature-controlled refrigerated vehicles, adjustable between -25°C and +25°C. Our trailers undergo cleaning and hygiene checks before every loading; food is never carried mixed with incompatible cargo, and products posing a risk of odour contamination are kept apart. Throughout the journey, the trailer temperature is continuously measured and recorded, and because all of our vehicles are equipped with GPS devices monitored 24/7, the location and status of your shipment are known at all times. In food transport, time determines quality; with that in mind, we plan routes along the shortest and safest corridors and prepare customs and border-crossing documents in advance, minimising freshness losses caused by waiting. Based in Hatay, close to Türkiye's key agricultural and food production regions, our company offers the advantages of rapid collection from producers and flexible planning. In our food shipments from Türkiye to markets in Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, we work as a reliable logistics partner for producers, exporters, food wholesalers and retail chains. Our goal is to preserve the freshness, quality and safety your product had when it left the field or the production facility, all the way to the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

We use refrigerated vehicles set to the right temperature for the product and pre-cooled before loading, and we plan loading to preserve air circulation. We also prepare route and customs documents in advance, keeping transit time as short as possible.

Our refrigerated vehicles can be set as low as -25°C. Frozen products are held steadily at these values throughout the journey, and temperature data is recorded and reported on request.

Products with the same temperature requirement and no risk of odour contamination can be carried together. Incompatible product groups are always transported separately for hygiene and food safety reasons; this assessment is made at the planning stage.
