    Is there are an easier way to check or add coolant on carrier reefers. Expansion tank is all the way on the top of the unit. Those two little steps on the trailer just don’t work for me : (

    Usually use a lift but a ladder works in a pinch.

    Easiest way I have found. Is to call the company you work for and have them send a tech to repair it. If you own the equipment call the number on the back of your common loyalty points card such as loves, TA, Pilot. Then call for roadside assistance. And finally if none of those work. Drive to closest hardware store and buy an extension ladder use it to fill your coolant. Then return the ladder at same hardware store because you can't take it with you.
