    I'm wrong they are, do you know anything else about them? pay or length of lease all that? there website doesn't really say anything, makes me nervous that they don't have that info out there, I'm sure if I call they'd tell me but It's not in writing so.....
     
    pbrstreetgang Thanks this.

    Hey, on the subject of reefers, what's the deal with having to count as you're getting loaded? I've been reading threads here and there about reefers, and I'm always hearing talk of this. When I was doing the dry-van thing, I never once had to count, or watch the stuff being loaded. Is this different with reefers? Also I never had to worry about pallets or anything.

    The few time's I counted loads, were produce, most customer's won't allow you on the dock while loading or unloading, so it's no big deal to worry about counting freight to much anyway.:biggrin_25517:

    Okay, cool. That's one thing I love about live loads: getting to snooze for a couple hours during the day!
