    Odd times to load. Reefer fuel and noise. Often treated like an idiot. Trailer wash outs.

    I'd never go back to it myself.
     
    Air Breeze, 201 and VaGump Thank this.

    Negatives
    1) alot of overnight driving
    2) Sitting out on a farm waiting for workers to pic the product from the field
    3) delivery times in the middle of the night
    4) Babysit the reefer
    Im much happier doing dry van.

    Pros: Higher rate then dry van, depends on states.
    Cons: Pay extra for fuel, baby sit the unit, night time deliveries, Big deduction if it is destroyed and not monitoring the unit if it malfunctions.
