Kosher Certification Process 

There are misconceptions about kosher certification. Many people have the mistaken belief that storage or transportation tanks can be made kosher by having a rabbi merely giving a blessing over the product or trailer.  There’s actually far more to the process of kosher certification. These specialized rabbis have to inspect the facility, but also inspect the history of what the tanks previously hauled. A kosher certificate has to travel with each shipment of food throughout the entire food transportation process, from where it’s produced to its final destination. 

There are several steps that need to be followed on a Kosher Wash, to keep in good standing with kosher certification each time at Kosher Food Grade Tank Trailer is cleaned and sanitized. 

• Step 1: Perform a standard clean, flush out any remaining liquids and wash the exterior of any dirt and debris. 
• Step 2: Use a special cleaner for the interiors of the tank trailer. 
• Step 3: Rinse the interiors of the tanks using water that is over 195 degrees Fahrenheit. 
• Step 4: Sanitize thoroughly the Food Grade Tank Trailer. 

Once a Food Grade Tanker has achieved kosher certification, carriers ensure that it never comes into any contact with any foodstuffs like pork or shellfish, or any other non-kosher food items. That’s why it’s so crucially important that accurate records are kept and all 3 prior loads are recorded properly. making sure that the food grade transportation chain is kept clean and that your food product is being handled appropriately along the way.

Tank Wash Location

There are many different bulk commodities and restrictions the bulk transport world is very different than many other products and loads such as in dry van loads a driver can unload at the delivery point, and get reloaded not too far away. That’s not the case with bulk loads, once delivered one must coordinate an appropriate wash location. This often results in big deadhead miles, not only empty miles but hours of travel. 

In many parts of the country, there simply aren’t enough wash locations, which creates backlogs and wait times to get washed. Also, not every tank wash will wash out every type of commodity. This can create distance for not only several miles to get to the nearest location but can mean crossing several states, tolls and traffic. 

Once finally at the tank wash, the driver typically must wait in line as many wash facilities have only two or three wash bays with several trucks waiting at each.  These bottlenecks can add several hours to the already time-consuming wash and travel, and with the hours of services (HOS) requirements, making it hard to get quickly to the next load.
