A Practical Reefer Temperature Checklist for Every Load

Pre-cool, setpoints, continuous vs. cycle, and the documentation that protects you.

Most reefer claims start with a misunderstanding about temperature. A simple routine reduces that risk.

Confirm the setpoint

Check the rate confirmation and BOL for the required temperature and mode. Ask if they don't match.

Pre-cool the trailer

Arrive with the trailer at the required temperature when the shipper requests it.

Document everything

Record pulp temperatures, seal numbers and reefer download data where possible.
