Stepping Out With My Own Numbers

I don't run many miles, anywhere from 9800 - 11000 miles a month. I could probably do more but I don't do a lot of long haul freight.
A reefer trailer is more of a risk from loading and unloading but the most common is the chute wearing out in the nose. Not a big deal to fix. If you are buying a used reefer and it's a Carrier X2 vs a Thermoking SB I say Carrier hands down is better. If you're looking at an X4 vs a TK Precedent I would say they're almost neck and neck. If you get a GD Super Seal reefer, those are pretty nice trailers. Reefer fuel isn't so bad unless you got a -10 load in TX and it's 105 degrees. Doesn't matter what you have, it's going to suck fuel.

 

I don't think those prices are bad at all. I'd be partial to the 2012 as you can use it for a few years and have some equity in it to trade up to a reefer you really want 2-3 years down the road. A 2015 with only 4K hours is almost brand new though. Carrier units compared to a TK SB series are much better in my opinion.

 

New stickers on the trailer. Truck is still getting stuff out on inside. Once it's outside in the sun I'll get some pictures of it.

 

I think @Cowpie1 will appreciate this. Truck has a 10spd direct 2.5 ratio, new A26 motor, and is a 6X2.
