Even in a walk in cooler that's at 32-36 degrees, I would not hold trim more than 4 days. You should freeze it immediately and thaw it slowly in the refrigerator when you're ready to make your jerky.
You will have much more bacterial growth and shrinkage trying to hold it above freezing for extended periods, than you will by freezing and then thawing in the refrigerator.
