What shippers should expect from carriers.
The Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food rule creates documentation expectations for carriers and shippers. This guide outlines practical steps — not legal advice.
Shippers, loaders, carriers, and receivers each have responsibilities. Carriers must maintain sanitary conditions and provide records on request.
Drivers should understand temperature control, cross-contamination prevention, and record-keeping requirements for food loads.
Temperature logs, cleaning procedures, training documentation, and written procedures for refrigerated equipment operation.
Ask carriers how they document set points, handle exceptions, and respond to record requests before peak season.
