What is Temperature recorder in freight?

A temperature recorder logs the temperature inside a refrigerated trailer throughout transit, producing the record used to settle temperature related claims. Without a download showing the range held, a receiver rejecting a load on temperature is very difficult to dispute. Many food and pharmaceutical shippers require one on every load.

Also called: temp recorder, data logger.
