    I'll look for ya if we go thru craftsmen tomorrow night. Have to see what they decide for us to do tomorrow. It was so hot in Phoenix we had problems getting the reefer cooled down to 0 after loading. Took 3.5 hrs to get it from 30 to 0 and it shut down on me 4 times. I'm thinking they must not have had some of the product cold enough. It was supposed to be frozen and i started with the trailer at 9 degrees but then had to open the doors in 115 degree heat.

    This is good too. They had me run the unit at 80 degrees and they turned the fan on to blow air inside the trailer. It worked out since I showed up on their lunch break. Once the started, I swear it was 15 min to load 18 pallets. All of these sugar spots in that part of the country load super fast, though. The slowest was Fort Morgan and they still finished in 30 min

    It's been a beast to cool those frozen loads this summer. I had a couple of loads where the reefer ran for 8 hrs just to get to 0 or 10 below. Are you having to run it cycle?

    I had to put it on continuous. We just switched drivers an it was finally down to neg. 10 . so i put it on start stop which is what i was supposed to have it on. On cycle is when it shut down the 1st time and it was only at 19. So that's when i put it continuous.

    The place is called Frenchman Farmer Produce. They appear to own the whole town.
