New to this Can i haul dry freight in a refridgerated trailer?

Odors are something best not discussed too much, it gets graphic describing some of the things hauled, or not even on the trailer, in some cases.

Anyone ever haul bulk frozen fish for pet food? I have also smelled onions and other aromatic herbs in empties weeks later. We have started parking them with the doors left open when empty; that seems to help.

I couldn't get a bad odor out of a trailer one time in New Jersey, and I wouldn't take it to Del Monte to load pineapples because I had seen them refuse to load a trailer with what I considered a minor odor problem. My sense of smell is very keen. That one smelled like a rendering trailer, and every time I ran the unit, the smell got worse.

That odor dogged the trailer for over a month. Someone else decided it couldn't be loaded because of the smell a couple of weeks later.

 

I used to milk cows and also worked in a cheese plant, there is no way I'm carrying that stuff along with me, and the smell was in the unit, the box was washed 15 ways from Sunday and the trailer had an evident stench any time the unit was operation.

Coffee grounds are supposed to work, too, but it is best to not have a bad odor to deal with. Like I said, I have seen several refused trailers and the drivers were usually surprised about them being refused, usually, but not always, some places are notoriously picky, and have the reputation for rejecting trailers.

While we are on this subject, vans are supposed to be resistant to moisture and dust penetration, and many have holes, some evident and some not, and places that load things easily damaged are pretty good at finding those gaps. I pulled one one time that had been repaired with clear caulk, it showed light, and I had to call the shop, but the shipper got up and looked and said it was okay this time, but to paint it over because light getting in is an indication of a breach.
