    So would a good first reefer load be temp 70f to jersey with an extra day on it? Just need to check adjust temp and keep it fueled? 2550 if broker will do it on 1470 miles?

    What exactly are you asking? Set the reefer at 70, check it whenever you stop. The money is okay but I wouldn't want an extra day

    It's paying $2550 on 1470 miles to Jersey and needs to be set at 70? Is all that right?
    Should be using much reefer fuel at 70
    That's a 3 day load, if it's 4 days I wouldn't do it imo

    Some shippers require the reefer to be washed out, that's something you'd probably want to know about on every load.
    Some shippers are beaches about the trailer being perfect
