Default shipping grapes

As I posted in another thread I've found a local store that
has grapes shipped up from CA on a regular basis in the fall.
I've also read about how producers will try to pick their entire
crop in the early morning or during the night to get the effects
of the cool temperatures. What are the effects of shipping
grapes 3000 miles then? I think they said by truck so I have
to guess at a 1 or 2 day journey. I know that the mileage (pun
intended) will vary depending on temperature and length of trip
but are there any definite changes in the grapes while being
shipped long distances.
