The day to day ramblings of the LTL business.

I worked with a guy at another job years ago he's in prison now who literally is the mentality of the people in that movie. It's scary beyond words.

 

Only 4? Mack? must be dragging a pup. It's a good day when I only have 4. Sometimes, i have as many as 12 to 14.

 

I saw FedEx (Freight, I think) pulling a 53' reefer yesterday It was -15 or so, so maybe something temperature sensitive?

 

I pull a puppy dog around everyday. One time I got to pull two puppy dogs around. Tuesday I have a pretty fat puppy dog that I have to take on a long walk around the city to get thinned out.

 

If it was Freight, those are most likely just for freezables. The unit is probably set for 50. Most LTL companies have heated trailers, but sometimes they are reefer units instead. FedEx also has the Custom Critical division, and they have some reefers in that fleet for all kinds of temp sensitive shipments.

 

I've seen the heaters, just never a reefer before.

Never know. I used to see UPSF delivering fresh chicken.

 

Woah! I asked some Saia guys what their reefer trailers were for and they told me they just used them as heaters. I was wondering the same thing.

 

My reefer was used as a heater on Saturday. Pretty bad when the freezer feels good.

Can't wait till summer.
