    Hey Buds,

    Why do i hear so many Drivers downing and complaining about driving Reefer?

    (i never drove it is why i'm asking, i'm local box driver).

    But, i hear all the time comments about Reefer is pain, or this and that about Reefer.

    Can someone give me the pros-and-cons of Driving Reefer?

    Thoughts/ Comments?

    Thanks very much!

    1am deliveries at food warehouses with 100 other trucks lined up, lumpers, another engine that needs repairs, rejected loads that your stuck with until dispatch finds out where to take it, another tank to put fuel in, sitting 3 hours at blue beacon for a washout..
    I can go on and on.
