Flat floor reefer vs Grooved floor reefer

Some places will not load a flat floor reefer. If the product is on slip sheets for whatever reason no go on flat floor.

 

I've led a sheltered life again, cause I've never seen one with flat floor.

 

Or if chunks of wood are wedged in the grooves. When that happens it's hammer time and I don't mean wearing baggy trousers.

 

with a flat floor you tell the wood chunks.....u can't touch 'dis.

 

The puns. So bad.

 

what kinda bad? michael jackson bad? which is really not bad,or the nasty kinda bad. which raises the question,what kinda nasty, the janet jackson kind.......

....?

 

Saw a driver using one of those at the Robin Hood Truckstop in North Carolina. He sure left a mess at the fuel island.

 

They can also make a mess at the shipper's dock! But if you want to make sure you are never "invited" back...

 

Ok good I thought it was just me.

 

Washouts were relatively rare in my time. Once in a while that empty has been somewhere smelly. And I show up to my Nemesis Kraft (Which is one reason I buy Kraft and pay a few more dollars for it...) and the nose knows it's not clean, washout time.

Anyhow. Kraft is a nemesis for another reason, yard jockey likes to nose that trailer into between two trailers leaving about a foot apart. If I want that load (And have the papers for it...) Im forced to do a side hook on with my tractor, something I consider incredibly risky. It's literally like trying to back onto and make contact with a deck of cards without spilling them off the table and all with the rear frame.
