    Folks, a question.

    Are there any major LTL carriers that handle both reefer and dry?

    I am only aware of LTL Reefer companies that do reefer only, but am curious to see if anybody does both. Thx.

    YRC Inc. is an LTL co. and we have a reefer division called Reimer express that has reefers. Reimer is mainly for our Canadian freight but we have the ability to utilize their wagons if we need a reefer

    I can remember in the late 70's when i started driving, Pulley Freight Lines was a Day cab-reefer LTL carrier that i saw frequently around Iowa and illinois. Since then, i dont know of a dedicted LTL reefer carrier.

    I will add that in the month I have been here I have had one LTL load, a few truck load refrigerated loads and dry loads on a reefer, and one American Eagle dry load. Sometimes I'm not sure which company I agreed to drive for. As long as they get me moving, who cares?

    They're running Wal-Mart accounts here in the states now. And it's plainly YRC trucks pulling the trailers. Of course, the guys I spoke with in the truckstop weren't pleased to find out they were no longer considered "special", and Wal-Mart is treating them like any other carrier.

    Wait your turn.


    Yes it is...see above.

    YRC won't be here much longer anyway. With the debt they have if they make it til the end of the year they will be lucky.
