Deals on Reefers ?

@Short Fuse EOD

 

I'm not sure about the supply and demand dynamics between freight-trucks. But I believe with inflation that set in starting in late 2021- and reefers went from $65-$70k to $120k-man carriers withheld purchases. Maybe now time to cycle out the old trailers. I'd recently heard on business news that supply/demand is close to equal 1 month ago, and projected to get better for carriers in 2024.

 

Long haul 3.15-3.25 a mile hauling ice cream. Nah, I’ll stay reefer.
Fix for old worn trailers is buy new ones. Stay out of east coast.

 

Fix for finding a driver that wants to deal with the extra headaches of the job. Extra pay or have the driver drive a truck that is blast driving. Something he or she would appreciate. A truck, a driver wish that they were driving. So no, ProStar or Cascadia.

 

I just bought a 2015 Great Dane to replace my totaled utility, can’t get a new one still until the second half of 2024, with the supply crunch it seems everyone held on to what they could and basically turned a lot of them into scrap, and are dumping them as the new ones come in

 

Agreed

East Coast is a black hole of shizz rates
