There's a whole lot of beef moving out of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, etc going pretty much everywhere in the country. Return loads to the West can be more problematic, but a reefer trailer can also haul most dry van freight too, if you are careful not to take loads that make the reefer smell bad. Look into coca cola syrup loads into Denver, for example. In the winter they want the syrup protected from freezing. Frozen seafood from the East coast to the Western states is a possibility too.
Anyone know of any Reefer lanes?

Another way that some places unload them is with a special conveyor belt that has a belted bucket the width of the inside of a trailer. The belted bucket slides under the potatoes, belts pull the poatoes to the center and onto another belt that goes out the back of the trailer, directly into the processing facility.motocross25, Team818 and stacks Thank this. -

I suspect that the method was REALLY hard on trailer frames, suspensions, tires, and sidewalls. It would take thousands of gallons of water in the trailer to float a load out.Cattleman84 and motocross25 Thank this. -
