both summer and winter (6 replicates). A three-deck pot-belly truck (PB) was
used in the West, while both a PB and a double-deck truck (DD) were used in
the East. It was found that he temperature conditions during transport vary considerably
between seasons and among compartments within a vehicle. The actual findings are in the .pdf article below.
