Ds Training Quiz 4 (Reefer) V012013

When talking to a driver for a reefer load, it is important to ask and confirm the trailer temperature. This is crucial because reefer loads require specific temperature-controlled environments to ensure the safety and quality of the goods being transported. By confirming the trailer temperature, we can ensure that the necessary temperature requirements are being met and that the cargo will reach its destination in the desired condition.

Before the trailer is sealed, a driver needs to be able to inspect the trailer. If the shipper does not allow the inspection, the driver must contact Coyote to inform them.

If a seal is broken in transit by law enforcement, the driver needs to obtain written documentation from law enforcement explaining why. This documentation serves as proof that the seal was broken by law enforcement and provides an explanation for the incident. It is important for the driver to have this documentation to avoid any legal issues or misunderstandings regarding the broken seal during transit.

False- Reefers can haul dry goods as well.

The driver may not leave the shipper until he has obtained this information. If the shipper refuses to provide this, the driver must contact coyote immediately.

Pre-cooling refers to the process of ensuring that the trailer is at the temperature specified in BAZOOKA (a system used for managing and tracking temperature-controlled shipments) before it arrives at the shipper. This is done to ensure that the trailer is properly cooled and ready for the transportation of goods at the desired temperature. It helps in maintaining the quality and integrity of the cargo during transit.

When the driver arrives at the shipper, he needs to provide the current temperature and the name of the person at the shipper who confirmed the temperature. This information is important for the shipper to ensure that the goods are being transported under the appropriate temperature conditions and that the temperature has been verified by a responsible person. The weight/piece count of the goods is not mentioned as a requirement for the driver to provide in this scenario.

When dispatching a driver for a reefer load, it is important to use a trailer that is clean, dry, and free of holes. This ensures that the temperature-controlled cargo remains protected and undamaged during transportation. Additionally, using a food-grade trailer is necessary when transporting perishable goods that require specific sanitary conditions. Therefore, the correct answers for this question are "Clean, dry and no holes" and "Food grade."

Some facilities charge a late fee if a trailer is not pre-cooled to the required temp

Pulping refers to the process of using a pocket thermometer to check the temperature of the product while it is being loaded onto a reefer trailer. This is important to ensure that the product is being stored and transported at the correct temperature to maintain its quality and safety. It helps to prevent spoilage or freezing of the product during transportation.
