Reefer....not the fun kind...where to get one?

Kows are slow, like really slow, this year so ...............

Anyone know a good, reputable place to rent/lease one of these buzz box deals?
I'd like a 53' sliding spread, shiney side with more than a couple lights....but no one I know who owns one will let me have it, so a plain white tandem would do

I'd rather give my money to a small outfit than a large one....my buddies may not be open this year with the higher rates

Cendak hasn't returned my query, so I'm gonna start calling around tomorrow

been doing power-only stuff, and while it's fun, it's be easier to get someplaces (like home) with a dedicated wagon

 

Have you considered becoming a company driver. Rather than acquiring more bills in life ? It seems everyday some o/o is complaining about it being slow , I need to switch this and that.

 

Auction lots are full of reefers .

 

I was going to say i saw ritchie bros yard the other day that had reefer trailers for what seemed like miles. Looked like a grocery dc at first glance

 

No shortage of em at Ritchie bros at Morris Illinois.

 

Ive been waiting for prices to come down on truck paper, but maybe I should check out the auctions instead. Renting costs a fortune and tired of it.

 

been there and done it multiple times....but I could say that for owning a truck too

that's the beauty of sites like this, and originally what Kevin designed this site for....was for people to complain about companies, industry. , spouses ect......there's never a shortage of others rants

I'd like to stick to cattle cartage, but when there's none to hual a fella can't sit at the house (wife keeps trying to get me to do #### I told her I would years ago)....platform rates are still in the tank or I'd hook to a step deck...if you company can't/won't evolve how long will it last? And even though I live in oil country, I'll be ###### if I'll beat my truck to death for those low rates.

so I guess I'll return your question with a question
You gonna be productive or just complain?

 

If you can't handle being a owner operator than you'd be better off as a company driver.

You can find decent used ones on Craigslist/Facebook market place right now as well, personally I would rather just pay for it and let it sit if I don’t need it the. Write a check every month, even if it is an expense vs just the depreciation buying it
