    No suggestions on what to get, I have "factory" stuff retrofitted, carrier and thermoking both have them in their product line up however there are after market ones that don't cost so much.

    You mean Cheech and Chong, Up in Smoke, 1978?

    I was an Anglo Cheech until June 8, 1979. My adult son has his medical weed card and wants me to try the new stuff. No thanks. I’ll stick to bourbon and coke. I’m scared I’d revert right back to the ‘70s. :D

    What kind of sod rates a ride in a reefer anyway? I’ve only seen sod on flatbeds. Sod will last a few days in the Florida sun before it starts composting itself.

    I own a reefer but I've only rarely hauled fresh produce of any kind for this very reason. I have a logging system, but I decided a long time ago that I didn't want to deal with the headaches of hauling produce. There are too many high paying loads of pre-packaged "chilled" food products that aren't frozen to bother with fresh produce. Even ice cream is barely worth the trouble, especially in summer with high temps outside.

    May have been said already but go to a carrier or thermo king dealer and get a data download. Simple.
