Pulled up to the American Cold Storage in Woodburn, IN. Load was SUPPOSED to be a bunch of ice cream headed to a Nestle plant just outside of Atlanta, but apparently my reefer (a ThermoKing Precedent S-600) had other plans. After spending the better part of a day unable to get the trailer down to the -10 that the shipper wanted before loading, it decided to enter an active shutdown state and throw the alarm codes 518 (generator ground fault), 539 (J1939 can datalink fault) and 509 (ECU failed to enable). On one hand, God ####ing #### it. On the other hand, though, at least the unit died BEFORE being loaded. Otherwise I'd have a massive mess of rapidly melting ice cream on my hands. In short, another day at the office. Could've been MUCH worse
Reefer's Dead

I ran reefer for almost 4 years and don’t miss it. Too many extra things to worry about such as washouts and what you’re dealing with that aren’t worth the headache. Been there done that...
