Small "door" on reefer trailers

A woman that talks like that is worth keeping.Unless you can find a guy that will trade a motometer hood ornament for her that is.

 

What if the lettuce-produce you want to pulp is 3 ft in front of the rear door, u got a 4 ft pulp thermometer. BTW/ my cousin and 2 friends started Yankee Candle in 1966 for a loan of about 7000 and part they got from my aunt. Co. sold for 1.6 billion 3 yr. ago. I always wanted to say I had a rich aunt.

 

Product is pulped before loaded in pre-cooled trl. Pulp reading at the rear is to check if temp is close to the readings on the unit. Don't want the pulp reading to say +20 if the unit is set at -10.

WOW!! That's some return on a $7000 investment. (the smile's for your aunt.)

 

When hauling onions they sweat if not offered airflow so you leave the back vent door open. My last company hauled bulk Ping Pong Balls in trialers and they were loaded thru those doors. Never forget the day mr. DOT in truckee did not beleive the BOL and broke the main door seal and opened the doors. His boss and MINE insisted he pick those little devils up and put them BACK before I left.

 

GREAT story, Ironeagle!!

I have just one question though.
How do I get all this sticky, gooey soda off my monitor?
You really should give me a spew alert.

 

Great story, but I always thought that was an Urban Legend- I guess I was wrong.

 

I am sure all of your reasons work. Especially the one about the midget,lol. It can be used for ventilation. You can open the front top and the back bottom for a free flow. Here's a secret that I'm surprised someone hasn't posted yet. If you load a hot product out of a field such as cantaloupes, onions, and watermelons and you want to drop the temp without your reefer freezing up or running on high cycle, open the back door or doors. What that does is allows the warmer air an escape. Cold air is more dense than hot air and it pushes the hot air out. The first thing you have to do is pull the temp of your air down before it cools your product. Try it and watch your pulp temp. I know you may be shaking your head but, I promise you it works.



If an onion sweats it will mold super fast, like in a day or two. The cheap colored bags they use will also bleed color on the onion. The receiver doesn't like orange, purple, or blue onions, just to name a few

 

ok I have a question, I am a van driver and just got an offer to move over to Refrigerated, what is the difference, Is it early morning deliveries? what should i expect? I know most loads are live load/unload. I was up early one day and saw a lot of refers moving. ANY advice would be appreciated

 

What I hate is waiting for hours in a parking lot listening to the radio for a door. Then you have to make up the lost time on the road. It's not bad. You're not welcomed at most receivers. Lumpers are expensive, unless you want to break down the load. The 0 dark 30 appointments are a pain. I tried to stay away form the loads that have 15 picks and 3 drops.

 

And to think I was always told that it so your load of chickens can get fresh air and take turns looking out
