Have you ever ran reefer?
Most dry loads will go in a reefer.
Some time they will say no because of volume needed for a load. Or the chutes on the ceiling may not be approved.Jarhed1964, Mike2633 and kbarttt Thank this. -
Thank you. Yes we started out in a reefer for two years. My thinking is that the extra 3% for a reefer trailer will more than pay for the extra cost of a reefer. I just don't want to be eliminated on to many loads because of it.

3% extra does seem like more than peanuts. But I don't work for landstar. The double broker of choice. Good luck.
Many landstar posts on here.CorsairFanboy and kbarttt Thank this. -
I bet @Dave_in_AZ can share some insight
kbarttt Thanks this. -
There is a lot that is dry van only.
I'm just about to embark on a reefer research project.
Much is dry van only, and wood deck only though.kbarttt Thanks this. -
Thank you Dave, I would appreciate hearing what you find out. I know I can lease a reefer for $300-400 a month more than a dry van and at 75% all loads it should pay for itself. That is unless we find ourselves sitting a lot because we can't get loaded.

Groceries. Enough said.

Even with your own dry van, you will be cutting yourself out of a great deal of pre loaded freight.
And the other thing goes with the pre loaded freight, is those are all direct customers. No muss, no fuss.
I trully would test the waters with a company van if I were you.
Then you will see first hand what I'm referring to. No big rush. Give it a little time.interpreter, CorsairFanboy, blairandgretchen and 2 others Thank this. -
Most reefer outfits are 80 tho 86% with your own trailer
Oldironfan and kbarttt Thank this.
