Cleaning out trailers

I see most people with leaf blowers just blow the crap onto the ground and drive away. Drives me crazy. So thanks for not doing that!

That said, I don’t really have an answer on how to do it...

 

Take it to washout facility let the deal with it

 

Another option is to get a SOFT BRISTLE push broom at Walmart or Lowes and keep it on the back of the cab. The soft bristle can be worked down into the grooves then pushed to the back about 5 times to get most of the larger particles. Then use a small 7/8 inch putty knife to get the wood bits out of the grooves, into your gloves, then into a trash can.

You can possibly skip several washouts by sweeping or blowing out but don't let the left-behind smaller dirt and grime build up too long if you do run refrigerated loads on occasion. Granted some loads are dirtier than others and use your discretion if later going after a food load. This accumulated dirt, dust, and grime will hold moisture and foster mold growth in closed trailers when left out on warmer days.

Always run the unit and keep closed [after dropping a frozen load] to dry out the inside good before dropping. After frozen loads, a lot of condensation moisture will form and later foster mold/mildew. It's important to rid the floor and walls of this moisture soon after unloading.

 

You could blow everything to the front of the trailer, then scoop it all up into a trash bag.
One more blow out to the rear will get rid of any dust.

 

Some of those blowers are also vac's they are more expensive but solves your problem

 

Powerful and big enough to suck up large chunks of wood?
I doubt it.

 

You could carry a trash bag and pick up the big stuff on the way to the nose of the trailer to blow it out. For the wedged in stuff just use a screwdriver.
