Reefer Unit Broken Panels

I expect you'll have to maybe strip them off a totaled trailer that has the same unit or go to the dealer.

Sometimes they don't latch good and get blown open and pinched in between the cab and trailer or just breaks the hinges leaving it dangling, or somebody jumps the pin over the 5th wheel and the back of the truck hits the front of the reefer.

 

I know how much they are. the lower unit door on the left is $473.00 that's the door only. the hardware is another $100 or so dollars. it's hard to get a used replacement if your a few truck operation. and they are nearly as much. they are quite proud of those doors.

 

Lately I've seen many reefers half melted from trucks doing dpf burnoffs .. We have 4 or 5 in our fleet that way right now but it's a outside carrier doing it but can't figure out who .. Most owner ops here have side stacks or weed burners and the rest were measured to try to find out who is doing it as it's typically a grand or more in damage

 

I've seen those melted refeers before too. I watched a flat top with his pipe pointed backwards cook one in a TA before. Flats pulling refeers are becoming more common than they used to.
