Please anyone knows about the temperature guns for the reefers

Are you talking about a gun to shoot a temp of the product? If so they are all about the same. I purchased a few $15 models and they work just as good as the $40 ones our drivers had before that. The ones I bought are two years old and never had a battery change and are still kicking. The drivers that already had the $40 model when I got here have had theirs for about 4 years now and those are still ticking also. The drivers check the calibration with a cup of ice water. Can't change the calibration on the models I bought but you can tell if it is off.


This is similar to the ones we bought last.

Got mine there also... use it at the house, but still.. spot on.

 

Ok i run refer too im gonna get one these ,but my quistion is,say i load cantaloupe, well it measure to the core of that melon ,or just measure the outside of the skin? Or how deep does it measure?

 

Not sure, but when I measure heat of a tire or whatnot with mine, it's the inside temperature. Same with the refrigerator. It's going inside, the core temp. Can't tell you about produce, though...never tried that, 'cause I'm not a reefer driver. Leme think of who is.... um @scottied67 ...any insight? @tscottme .. are you a reefer guy, too?

Thinking out loud, @Everett . @bulldawg trucker and @Steel Dragon may show up to answer too. I'm curious to the answer, myself.

 

Infrared will only measure the skin temperature. For produce, you want a cheap dial face thermometer.

Calibrate it in a cup of ice water. It should be 32° exactly. If it's not, turn the nut on the back until the dial lines up with 32°.

 

You can get infrared thermometers with an attachable probe in order to physically pulp produce. That is what I used.

 

No more reefer loads ever!
Too much extra bs and less pay than dry van loads.
Why bother?
