    Any body ever use a bulk head? Where do you store it, do you need e-track? I'll have some loads that are temp controlled up front and non temp controlled in the rear.

    If the trailer has e-track I strap the bulk head to the wall.

    If I am picking up a dry load I stand the bulk head up in the nose of the trailer.

    Typically--Stand mine at back of wagon--on right side just in front of load lock rack--but all depends--just NEVER take it out of wagon......
    Also find out what the split load is--lots of time the BH isn't needed--lots of dry products can get cold--

    Mine usually gets stashed standing upright and folded closed on one of the front side walls where it won't get tagged by a careless forklift. I also carry a couple extra load bars to help secure it when in use to keep the pallets from damaging it.

    Thanks for the tips, I'll be moving grocery refrigerated up front and grocery non reefer in rear. Just typical wholesale grocery stuff, just have a customer who is really looking for someone to run this type of set up and not many want to run it.
