Bored, Should I Switch to Reefer?

They made a movie a few decades ago called reefer madness, blamed it on drugs but it was really them old clunkers that was driving them crazy...er

 

If you wany local in the Idaho Falls area check out the fertilizer companies that supply fertilizer for farmers... They have seasonal openings every spring and fall... Some will keep you on for most of the year if your a hard worker... But don't expect really nice equipment... You would be hauling fertilizer from the plant to fields where you will load an applicator then go get another load... Rinse and repeat all day, and some of the night at times. No log books as it is exempt, but it is seat time. Not going to be racking up thousands of miles either.

Just check with what ever companies you want to upgrade to to see if they will accept this kind of experience.

 

DFA also does a lot of dry van work. One of my previous jobs was hauling powdered milk from DFA in the southwest to California. Either 1 ton pallets of bagged milk or 1 ton totes. It was actually a pretty easy back haul except when a tote tore, and then what a mess.

 

only diff between dry van and reefer is now you've got a motor behind your sleeper cab howling all night you may get to go to different cold storage warehouses like McDonalds and all the icecream and cheese factories woo hoo huh you will have to get your delivery to the warehouse within time slots otherwise face the wrath of the dock hand receiver. other than that life is good.

 

Any old truck pics? @Chinatown ??

 

This is true. However once you get used to being rocked to sleep every night it's hard to not have one.
