So we’ve made the switch for now….

You will NOT experience this in the refer world...

 

Appointments aren't set in stone for reefer... for the warehouse. Driver better be there no more than 20 seconds early and no more then 5 seconds late though.

 

I will never miss 6-14 hour load times for reefer, the entire time the reefer screaming, and the BOL saying "we dont pay detention"

 

How you liking the 16 hour unloads, paying lumpers and then waiting 3 hour lines for a washout?

 

oh yeah, I forgot about lumpers.
On the plus side I did use lumpers to get credit card sign on bonuses. How else would I spend $6000 in 3 months?

 

For the most part it's not necessary to wash out your reefer after every load. Using a cordless leaf blower to "wash out" your reefer after each load will be satisfactory for 99% of shippers before reloading. Some places want to see a wash out receipt but I found that to be rare. I don't remember the last time I sat in a line at a truck wash. Keep on trucking if there's a line. Between 2-5am there's normally no line.

 

I have seafood in my mind. Also pharmaceutical. They are both high dollar and need teams. At least what I have been told.


Your own numbers or leased on?
