For example, if you are a loader, under the rule you would be responsible for verifying that a truck has been pre-cooled as specified by the shipper prior to loading food that requires temperature control for safety.

Your agreement with the carrier is subject to the records requirements of the rule discussed in Section VII. (21 CFR 1.908(a)(1)).
