The Shipment Report displays all orders that have been completed. It defaults to display a 30-day range, however, you may use the "From Date" and "To Date" fields to view a range of up to 1 year at a time.
The Temperature Control Report displays all orders that have temperature data associated with them. You will be able to see the Operation Mode, Set Point, and Return Air on the main report. To view more detailed temperature data for an order, select the snowflake icon on the right hand side.

Temperature Report:


Temperature Reports are found under the “Temperature Control Reports” feature (on the far right) from the homepage of the Online Tracking Portal.
Temperature report details can be viewed by selecting the button.
Freight that is run on Challenger’s climate-controlled equipment will have temperature reports associate with them. This could include fresh or frozen food or pharmaceuticals.
The set point is the temperature at which the reefer has been set.
The return air is an indicator of the reefer box temperature. The temperature of the air within the reefer is measured and reported as "Return Air".
Discharge air is the air that is being expelled into the reefer to either cool or heat the air.
Mode is the reefer setting. There are two types – Continuous and Sentry Cycle.
  • The Continuous setting means the reefer is running consistently. This is commonly used for produce or pharmaceutical loads.
  • The Sentry Cycle setting means the reefer turns on and off to maintain the temperature. This is commonly used for frozen loads.
Op. Mode is the operating mode for the reefer. Possible values could be "Defrost", "Running", "Off", etc.
Position is the location of the trailer at the time the GPS data is pulled.
There are various reasons why the temperature within a reefer fluctuates. Here are a few common reasons:
  • Loading or unloading due to the reefer doors being open
  • Border inspection because the reefer doors may be open
  • The reefer is set on Cycle mode. Temperature fluctuation is normal on this setting.
  • The reefer is on a defrost cycle. This can run for 30-60 minutes, after which temperatures will return to normal levels.
You may set your preference for Celsius or Fahrenheit in your account settings. Select "Settings" and "Edit" your account information. At the bottom of this page, you will see a drop list where you may select either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Ensure you select "Update Account Details" to save your preferences.
