PULP - Bagged Spinach ???

Then the height of the load didn't interfere with air flow. If it did the RA would be higher. Just give the download to insurance and fight the claim.

 

I tell brokers before the contact is signed certain terms, or I don't want the load: product has to be cooled (exception is potatoes because they keep in sheds, but write the temp on bills); detention that I charge; lumper fees are paid/ reimbursed by broker; and no pallet exchange (don't see that anymore anyhow). This all, except for hot oroduct, has to be written on the rate contract. If the product is hot, I most likely won't load it. And be prepared to drive away.

 

I've never tried that. What's your success rate for brokers you've never worked with before accepting those terms?

 

Your insurance company will tell Costco and broker to kick rocks if you have a readout and it’s within range. You need to email your insurance company that you decline any liability since your reefer was in a perfect working order throughout the trip….insurance companies don’t play BS claim games.
Friends refrigerated box truck burned down that had a load of pharmaceuticals in it. The load was delivered by a tow company day after the incident , receiver tried making a multi million $$$ claim and claim got rejected because internal temp of pharmaceuticals was within range since they were inside a temp controlled container filled by dry ice…
