    @wichris ...Did you get the trailer de-odorized? If so, what did you use?

    I got it that day, about 6 cans of febreeze sprayed in the condenser, closed up and running. I sent it over to a pretty picky customer and they didn't reject it.
    My sense of smell was gone from being in it.

    Load had a pallet of lettuce and one of broccoli, think the moisture held the scent. Why anyone would order that much garlic and a couple of pallets of wet product doesn't make much sense. That taste had to transfer to it.

    I hauled a load of cantaloupe from Florida to California and believe it or not another load of cantaloupe from Los Banos Ca back to Jax Fl! Needless to say that trailer smelled good for weeks!

    That’s known as “Skunk Formula”. Works great. That dog in my icon had it out with a skunk. She slept with me that night. … I didn’t see any hair or anything get bleached white?
