    I was on i-95 the other day headed to North Carolina. I saw atleast a dozen trucks with 48' or smaller trailers with all the vents open and axles all the way back. The trailer didn't have a reefer unit on it. But looked like it was hauling produce back from Florida. any ideas? what produce is in season that can be hauled like this?.. see picture attached

    I saw many trucks with the same size trailer with both front and back vents open, I was just curious, I figured they would want atleast a 53' to cram more in.
