It's all pretty much common sense stuff people should have been doing anyway. Hasn't affected the way we run reefer at all.

Hey guys please help me understand the new reefer laws... a client had a 40000lbs load of smoked ham rejecting and he was fretting about the new reefer laws .... can someone explain that to me?
Enacted in 2011. Not exactly new.
If the ham is required to maintain a specific temperature in transport (specified on the BOL), and that didn't occur, the receiver can and should reject it. If your client doesn't understand the basic premise of that, than perhaps his company should get out of the perishables business.

Rickipedia we need ya on this one. Lol.
I think I understand why he was fuming , it was a pre loaded cargo and shipper gave his driver BOL indicating that the temp had been set at 28 degrees but when the driver went to deliver the temp in the ham was 44 degrees... I ALSO KINDA BLAME THE DRIVER HE SHOULD HAVE DOUBLE CHECKED

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
