Is that it for reefer?

Watch that temp, long delays at customers, JIT freight, more OS and D issues, oh and it cold.

 

also, you have to get them washed out more often.

 

all of the above

 

depends on the company but I use the same trailer 95% of the time.....washing out the reefer is usually done when you have had a meat load of some sort...normally you can get by with a broom and just sweep it out or use a leaf blower....but some times ...oh yeah you gotta get it rinsed out.....during the winter it bites because then you gotta kick the heat up to dry the #### thing out so the floor won't freeze

 

I rarely wash out my reefer. That is what blue beacon is for.

Reefers are dropped and hooked just like dry vans. My son the the dry van driver has waited at a shipper or a receiver longer than I have and more often.

There is little time between load and drop. So you can't take your time. Yes you need to make sure the reefer stays running. Mainly fueling the little tank under the trailer and it needs to be cleaned out.... wow that is a lot of extra work... give me a break....

 

Every time I washed my reefer, I couldn't light it afterwards!
