When it's on continuous only the engine runs constantly. The cooling or heating still cycles according to need.
Bill of lading says +24, continuous run, or not?

If you are in the extreme cold like most of the country right now continuous loaded or empty. They are no fun when they freeze up in the extreme cold.
Chickens I'd run continuous anyway but thats just me..
Did you call the shipper and ask them ? -
What is more costly? a bunch of fuel or the whole load being rejected?

I picked up my first frozen load in my new TK reefer last Sunday. Ran it for 3 days at continuous -10 and it only used 10 gallons of fuel the entire time. I was amazed. The last place I worked, I ran a frozen load in a 8 year old trailer with a TK and it used like 8 gallons a night.
KB3MMX, x1Heavy and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
An older unit has to move more heat with a less efficient compressor, even if the design of trailer and compressor are exactly the same.
