Average Detention Times for Reefers in PA/Northeast

Heavy1X
I use to pull out of the Americold in Dallas quite a bit. Never had issues loading/unloading. I also use to deliver to Denver Cold Storage, in Denver,PA. Wait times depend upon the place, for the most part they all have detention times that vary. I will agree about Sysco. I despise those places.

 

I believe what he is stating Tyler is in dry van, or reefer freight. It depends upon where you are delivering to. I have set from 1 hour to up to 8 hours at a receiver.

 

Flip a coin...
I have been to some customers multiple times..
One day in/out a week later I'm there for 4 hours, with no reasonable explanation.

You never really know, every day is an adventure.

 

No offense, it is the nature of the beast. That is why i got out of pulling reefer, dry van, flatbed, and oversize

 

You make it sound like I was complaining..
I'm happy enough with my situation.


Just saying it's hard to give an accurate answer on 'average' detention times.
But yeah if he's worried about sitting... Shouldn't get into Reefers.

Depends on customers a lot also...if someone pulled a lot of broker loads.. They're going to have a fun time.

 

I apologize. That was not my intention. I was just saying it was the reefer business.

 

Re reading what you wrote.
Looks like I took it wrong

Either way you're right...

 

Really depends on place, time and a LOT on drivers attitude imo.

 

We go to Americold Leesport PA A LOT. And it reminds me of that psycho kitty girlfriend we all had in high school, when it was good - it was great but when its bad you are considering the horsepower of the rental wood chipper you are gonna need to have to toss the body thru.
