Pharmaceuticals - ET Transport

Your Cold Chain Logistics Partner

When it comes to transporting pharmaceuticals, two things are of essence – time and temperature.

According to information from Shipwaves, 7 out of 10 of the top pharmaceuticals used in the U.S. require temperature-controlled shipping. A slight change in temperature, even of just 2 degrees, can ruin pharma products.

ET Transport’s reefers are fully equipped to provide your pharma company with refrigerated and insulated vans to ensure your products maintain their quality and integrity until reaching the intended destination.

We specialize in transporting temperature-sensitive items like perishable goods, produce, frozen baked goods, alcoholic beverages, beverages, dairy products, frozen meat and pharmaceuticals.

Rules and risks of shipping pharmaceuticals

Transporting temperature-sensitive pharma products like plasma, narcotics and other perishables must abide by rules and regulations regarding warehousing, shipment and distribution set by the Food and Drug Administration.

The most important rules are concerning temperature while in transport. Even a fluctuation of just 2 degrees could ruin a shipment of pharma products. The wrong temperature could result in profound implications such as ineffective products, cause harm to patients or result in hundreds of thousands of dollars lost.

Moreover, transporting pharma products involve the risk of theft while in transit and end up on the black market.

ET Transport’s fleet of cutting edge reefers will provide you with the peace of mind that we abide by federal rules and regulations as well as ensure your cargo is safe and secure while in transit.
