    I hear you, and while that fit the thread, he was talking about the money, there was much more in cows, and just park when there was no cows to haul. lol

    Guy that I worked for had been doing it since 1965 same family. 25 trucks so I think they were doing something right.

    I haul refer. It the light goes to yellow or red. You can shut off the refer and restart it. That will rest the computer and should put it back to green. If it changes again then call dispatch they will usually have you run by a repair shop and get you in and out without a problem. Only once had I had to keep resetting it every couple of hours. No problem with the load being accepted. Food stayed in acceptable range.

    Always run a pretrip on reefer control unit to check for codes or issues when picking up a trailer or the one you are pulling.

    I heard a story about a mechanic sent to repair a broken down reefer full of pizza dough. Apparently driver told him to hurry because if dough started to rise it could blow the sides out of the trailer. Not sure if it was b.s. or not

    So how does Denver get ice cream, or any city that is above 4500 feet?
