Reefer Unit Status

Confirm the unit starts normally and no active fault, alarm, or shutdown condition is displayed.
Verify the control panel display is legible and buttons or touchscreen inputs respond as expected.
Inspect for refrigerant, oil, coolant, or fuel leaks; damaged panels; loose fittings; or unusual vibration/noise.
Confirm the mode matches the shipment requirement, such as continuous or cycle operation.

Fuel and Power Check

Record the current fuel level and confirm it is adequate for the dispatch plan.
If the trailer uses shore power or another external supply, verify the connection is secure and operating correctly.
Inspect the fuel cap, hoses, and surrounding area for damage, looseness, or signs of tampering.

Temperature Setpoint and Load Readiness

Enter the programmed setpoint and confirm it matches the bill of lading or load instructions.
Confirm the trailer was brought to the required temperature before product loading, if applicable.
Verify rear doors, seals, and latches are intact to help maintain temperature integrity during transit.

Sensor and Probe Check

Inspect sensors for physical damage, disconnection, or contamination.
Record the observed temperature reading from the unit or probe and confirm it is reasonable for the load condition.
Check for probe faults, calibration alerts, or sensor communication errors on the display.
