    $1.73 there, $1.20 back. $1.5 average. Trust me, you are not turning a profit

    What do u think u know about me that U can even reasonably qualify U to know my thinking my mind or my business skills or the method with which I go about learning a new part of the business? If u can't make a profit large or small on 1.73 maybe it's you that needs the business education U seem to think I lack......

    @fr8monkey How come you went to reefer? I see you said you wanted to try something different but, what was the deciding factor? Why not Tank or Flat assuming you came from Vans?

    Reefer is very simple. Fuel it up turn on and set temp..check it periodically and keep it clean. I hope the rates are worth the extra costs of fuel, washouts, extra weekly payment and lets not forget when your reefer starts throwing codes or shutsdown. Its another engine you have to maintain. Starter problems, exhaust problems, battery problems you name it. It could put you out of commision like a truck could if thats your only trailer. I hope it works out for u fr8 and it proves worthy of the extra investment. Make sure you do your service intervals and preventive maintainance and it should run long.
