Reefer breakdown,what to expect when I will be delivering on monday?

better be calling the broker/Dispatcher ASAP if you haven't already.


Don't plan on dealing with this alone. Call them NOW and get them into the loop so they can deal with the consignee. That's their job. Help you deal with major issues like this.

 

Cabbage is pretty hardy stuff. You're probably ok. I would follow MNdriver's advice and tell your boss or the broker or both. I've hauled a cabbage/onion mixed load at 45 with no issues so I doubt a few hours at 50+ is going to cause an issue but CYA just in case.

 

temp recorder is what screws you as thats what will give them a timeline to what happeneded thus leaving it impossible for you not to tell them.

 

Only if you want to guarantee your load be rejected. You need to call your broker today. This is something you should have done when the reefer broke down in the first place.

 

they should have an after hours number you can call. Rare that they would not.

Otherwise, contact the broker BEFORE you go into the consignee on Monday and give them a heads up. They can decide if they should call the consignee before you arrive and have a plan of action before you even hit them with the issue.

 

probably gonna be priced down if they dont reject it be prepared to do alot of sittin around and stressful day ahead of u. I just had a friend his reefer broke down, load of bananas temp went above 65 n it got rejected 8grand was the loss
