Winter truck and transportation tips ranged from anticipating delays due to winter weather and using a block heater to keep the engine and battery warm as both can be negatively impacted by the cold weather; to draining moisture from airbrakes and air valves, as they can freeze up and cause mechanical failure; and to make sure that LED lights are cleaned before driving – because they do not heat up, LED lights can get covered with snow and ice.
Reed's suggestions focused specifically on ways to reduce warehouse energy costs that can skyrocket during the winter months. He advised webinar attendees to install destratification fans as these reduce hot and cold spots through the mixing of air and help lower heating costs; segment areas in the warehouse depending on their heating needs – unused warehouse offices, for instance, do not need to

be heated; and to clean light fixtures to improve lighting, as heating and lighting consume the most energy in a warehouse.
Other tips included a suggestion to install LED lights and sensor operated lighting (to light warehouse areas only when occupied), and to reduce temperature settings; every one degree reduction can produce a one to two percent reduction in heating costs.
As to what the recommended temperature settings should be for a warehouse, Reed said: "tests by the American National Standards Institute; American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ANSI/ASHRAE) suggest the best [warehouse] settings are 68°F (approx 20°C) when the warehouse is occupied and 55°F (around 13°C) when unoccupied."
