    I bought the 18V Ryobi brand at Home Depot online since I had an extra charger and a bunch of batteries. It is doing an okay job.

    Its been a while since ive driven reefer, but when i did, I hauled a lot of potatoes on the ground for frito lay. I hated cleanin ght e reefer cause the weight of the potatoes would be forced into the channels. The previous driver left a modified a snow shovel with teeth to scrape the channels and remove the stuck potatoes. Still needed to wash out the trailer after I left frito lay

    Well, if you can use your broom exclusively, and pass the loaders inspection and get loaded at Amalgamated Sugar near Boise, I'd say you've really got something special.

    Would that be a cordless vac , they do not suck well , we do have a few Co workers where I work , and they know how to really suck well, but getting them to your trailer would be a pain in the ### , to bad because they could suck it sparkling clean, and they'd do it for free I'm sure, if I brought thier manager along , but then you'd have to pay him a load. Maybe better to just use shop vac. Good luck, and keep on sucken.

    How long dose it take to clean out reefer with gas blower, and picking up debris outside on ground also.

    We will have a website soon, and a video demo on YouTube showing the broom in action, not just a website telling you how great it is, and how you'll save hundreds of hours and eliminate washouts and all the b.s. too like some other products on the Web . Will have video clip on website, hadn't thought about you tube, we'll put it on YouTube, thank you.
