• Pre-Trip Inspection: Verify the reefer trailer is pre-cooled to the required temperature (usually below 36°F/2°C for fresh meat or 0°F/-18°C for frozen).
• Trailer Check: Inspect the trailer interior for cleanliness, odors, and debris before loading to prevent contamination.
• Verify paperwork: Match the pallet tags, bill of lading (BOL), and product counts against the shipping manifest.
• Stage Pallets: Arrange pallets in the staging area by weight and destination sequence before loading begins.
• Load Strategy: Use an alternating "pinwheel" pattern or straight loading based on weight to ensure trailer stability.
• Weight Distribution: Place heavier pallets over the trailer axles to comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) legal axle weight limits.
• Secure the Load: Install structural load bars, straps, or air bags to prevent pallets from shifting and tipping during transit.
• Seal and Lock: Close the trailer doors immediately, secure the high-security bolt seal, and record the seal number on the BOL.
• Cold Chain Management: Work quickly to minimize the time meat spends in ambient temperatures on the loading dock.
• USDA and HACCP Rules: Ensure no cross-contamination occurs and all products remain properly wrapped, sealed, and labeled.
• Equipment Safety: Operate electric pallet jacks or forklifts safely, using dock locks and wheel chocks to secure the trailer to the dock.
• Ergonomics: Use proper lifting techniques when adjusting cases manually to avoid injury from heavy, shifting loads.
• Dock Lock Activation: Ensure the truck is locked to the dock and wheel chocks are placed before driving equipment into the trailer.
• Temperature Verification: Check the reefer unit's temperature and log the probe readings from the meat to verify the cold chain was not broken during transit.
• Seal and Paperwork Check: Verify the high-security bolt seal matches the Bill of Lading (BOL) exactly before cutting it.
• Trailer Inspection: Visually inspect the trailer interior for cleanliness, pest activity, or off-odors before touching product.
• Break Down the Load: Use a pallet jack or stand-up forklift to remove the first few pallets ("nose" of the trailer) where turning radius is tight.
• Bulk Unloading: Utilize a sit-down forklift to efficiently transport heavy, bulk pallets across the loading dock into the staging zone.
• Product Accountability: Scan pallet barcodes, check case counts, and inspect meat packaging for damage, tears, or leaks.
