After unloading wash it out.
Then leave the doors open overnight to get
Rid of the Oder.
So the next shipper doesn't refuse your
Trailer because of the smell.

I did nursery load in reefer like 14 years ago out of Oregon. I was not a fan of them. They were hand unload. They were plants and trees on plastic container. We always had couple inches of dirt on floor. The trailer washout was like $75. It took the shipper like 24 hours to load the trailer because they pack the plant in the trailer. The driver/ me had to tail gate the load. We had bring plants to back of trailer so the store employee could unload them. That was pain.

Depending on what your next load is going to be. Dirt, dust on the floor, usually all traces are gone after a couple pallet loads. Next load food? Might want a washout. A couple bug bombs are sometimes included with the load, to use after empty. Be sure to get all the spiders out. Some Shipoers might not like that. Seriously. Bugs and Spiders, especially in heat of summer.

We handled nursery loads in Delaware to Iowa which was a series of stores across that state. Spouse took care of the ground people while I risked my fingers in the plant carts.
Reefer needed a wash when done. But lucky for us it was dropped off at the other end for a empty clean to come out and go back to regular trucking. It would not be the last nursery load though.truckdriver31 and 3ARTransport Thank this. -

Make sure you open the doors for 1 hour every 12 hours to allow the plants to breathe
