    What city are you delivering to? If the cold places can't get you in today and the repair shop is also closed for a major repair like that you might as well continue driving... if you're going towards colder weather you may avoid a claim

    Reefer rental?
    At Thermal Trek we understand that requirements for cold storage are not always the same. Sometimes the need for cold storage is planned, and sometimes it is an unplanned emergency. In either case you can be ready by making advanced reservations, or in emergency situations, you can count on Thermal Trek to take care of your cold storage needs 24/7. For emergency after hours delivery call 512-610-2010.

    Maybe call that local tk dealer and find out who they use for emergency cold storage.
    I sure they run into this from time to time when they can't fix a loaded reefer unit promptly.

    20 degrees on liquid eggs? we hauled them at 34-36,so they're fine. 20 degrees must be the consignee request.

    yeah,wont hurt to drive up and ask americold. probably a no but then you can cross it off the list.
