Usually pays decent and loads are a little more flexible than produce. Rate is more steady than produce. Can't say what % of loads are frozen ... depends on your business plan. I'm sure if you have an outbound customer shipping ice cream you'd have wany more than someone who does lots of produce or meat.

I don't think there is any financial advantage to looking for frozen loads. There's lot's of it but a good chunk of that freight is on contract with larger and mid-size carriers. Temperature is less critical then non-frozen shipments, so I'm not sure why frozen loads would pay any better, overall.

Thank you, I'm trying to figure out if there is advantage for O/O of getting deep frozen reefer or not. It costs little extra money, example TK S700 over S600.

If you're talking about ice cream loads, that may be a slightly different matter but it may or may not be worth the additional investment
-
I'm talking no contracts, whatever I find on load boards

It's going to be very rare most of the time getting a hold of ice cream loads. And if you do, most of the time it'll be cheap unless it's a late night load or truck demand is low. Not worth it in my opinion.

I’d get a bigger reefer unit. The price difference between a carrier 7300 and the 7500 is around $1500 bucks.
