    It taking truck to W&B in Duncanville, Tx to get my radiator fan replaced. Every other should just ignored it because it would turn on.
    I feel your pain. When I loaded the bulk carrots; I had that trailer for almost two weeks with no issues. Between 100 degree weather and the hot carrots; I couldn’t drive 30 miles without the unit tripping a refrigerant code. Ended up having to stop, disconnect, and open the reefer unit doors. Even then I would have to reset the unit every hour and a half til sun went down and trailer temp got down below 40 (set at 36). 10hrs later when I dropped the trailer in Ft Worth trailer was still running 38.5 degrees.

    Well the reefer turns on on the second attempt. It just..hurts on the first attempt. Debating turning it to continuous.

    And yeah I figure thats what happened when I went to the shop the last time. It turns on but I can tell its not pumping out as hard as it use to. One time the blades were hardly spinning. Hope its just the fan, but I guess it could be the wiring.

    Basically they're on a program where they get routes more often from the Arkansas Area to California and back.

    Downside of the program is they are obligated to take swaps.

    My driver manager advised me do not go on that program. You basically get a feel good sticker you think you're on a semi dedicated but you make less money.
