Do you turn off reefer right as you dock ?

You had me fooled...

 

He should get a refund, it doesn't appear to have stuck.

 

I just ask the receiver if they want it on or off. It’s their product. 90% of the time they want it off after they start opening the dock doors since the place is refrigerated anyhow.

 

Which is probably the best advice of the entire thread. Let THEM decide. If they don't tell me to turn it off, then I'm not turning it off until empty.

 

Very smart!

 

I always ask the customer what THEY want.

 

Yes, I learned from someone to do that to avoid sucking in outside air that’s different than your set point. I turn it on right after I turn it off to avoid problems or in case I get in a hurry or be a doofus and forget. It usually kicks back on as I bump the dock. I don’t turn it off completely if, AND ONLY IF, it is requested by the receiver while I have a load on the truck.

I’m sure almost everyone before me has said the same, I’m just not going to read 8 pages of replies.
