    I did loads loaded on plywood sheets but never seen flat reefer floor. Corrugated floor is for cold air circulation under load.

    Years ago, we had some old Kohls reefers that had wood floors. Haven't seen them in years. I'd think the corrugated aluminum floor is the standard now.

    I doubt if the broker is going to find a reefer with a wooden floor. Because of the moisture created in a reefer, they can rot out pretty fast, which is why you never see them any longer. Not to mention a wooden floor can hold bacteria which isn't great for being food grade.

    Probably some brokers have no idea what is reefer trailer. Now another broker send me email with quote, high cube reefer required. I think all reefer trailers are standard +-.:dontknow:

    I'm pulling a high cube right now, just tsll enough that a standard load lock won't reach floor to roof. It's not noticeable from outside the trailer.

    Most of those had the chute split and going down both sides to the back. Not the single chute centered on the trailer roof.
