| Reefer or Van? Please tell me what exactly is the difference between a Van and a Reefer. I was just looking at pictures under the description and they appear to be one in the same??? When I think Van --- I think Van. Not what they were showing. Any clarification would help as I am searching the load boards for a friend of mine.  |

| A reefer is a temperature controlled van used to haul mostly food products that need to be either refridgerated or frozen. A van is just the regular enclosed trailer with no temperature controls. LB |

| A van is a dry box and a reefer is insulated and has a refrigeration unit on the front that can either cool or heat the product being transported. They look similar expect when you look at them from the front and a van is not a really a van like a freightliner sprinter or a Pontiac Montana, at least not in the truckers vocabulary |

Yes you can but you need to check the weight of the load as you may overgross as an empty reefer is heavier as than an empty dry van |

Really cant help you on the load boards since I dont use one but if they dont mind running all 48 states they might want to check into landstar as I hear they have alot of freight and they drivers can choose the loads. But again I dont personally use a load board so I dont have much information on them. From my understanding you have to actually apply and register with Landstar but again I dont know alot about them except the few things I have read on the forum |
