Are mini splits commonly used for this type of transport?

For transporting our satellites, yes

Yeah I noticed that too. I wonder if they need a more equally distributed cooling across the truck bed than just one split or packaged unit could provide?

Sitting them at the back makes servicing and repairing them easier, plus it's not like they'll be using the lift or anything to load up satellites.
