Vehicle Inspections: Refrigerated Trailers

This Vehicle Inspections: Refrigerated Trailers online course provides information on conducting proper inspections on refrigerated trailers.

Course Overview

Large numbers of refrigerated trailers—or "reefers", as they are more commonly known—regularly haul temperature-sensitive products from coast to coast. Thorough inspections are crucial—not only to ensure the tractor is in safe condition, but also to confirm the goods in the trailer do not perish.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require you to conduct three types of vehicle inspections: pre-trip, on-the-road, and post-trip inspections. This course is designed to demonstrate the additional tasks necessary to conduct proper inspections on refrigerated trailers.
