    What is the Brand of your A/C ? Any chance you can find a model tag on it?

    No idea. I think there is a manual for it somewhere on my truck. I'll try to remember to take a look.

    Here's what i have noticed lately .
    Contract rates at my carrier are dropping off which isnt a surprise .
    Current load I'm under pays me 1.68 cpm for a reefer load going 700 miles and my carrier pays for the reefer fuel and all expenses involving the load for a large food manufacturer.
    I have slowed down to compensate pushing my average mpg into the low 7s and 8s but I see very few people slowing down I know are hauling cheap broker freight hauling arse hammer down .
    How do these people make money ?

    Not great but they are getting better. A little over 2 bucks a mile on my numbers. But I am running dry van. If running ref I would think it would be higher for you.

    That was for one load and I only was really asking why I see so many people running 75 plus ...I see loads pushing 275 but they have dropped back on contract also .
    I'm not talking broker freight .
    In a market that is shrinking I'd think one would see people cut expenses a bit .
    But I see very few .
