    You ever get the urge to use it on the people asking for "gas money"?

    Standard house broom works best. Push brooms are useless in a reefer. Screwdriver to pry up broken pieces of pallet. Leafblower is for lazy people. I seen a driver using one in a very dirty trailer and he had dust going everywhere. I charge 15 bucks to sweep out. And believe me theres lots of lazys at a truck stop who will pay for someone to sweep out for them.

    Like mentioned earlier a straw broom works great. I can sweep out my trailer in less than 10 minutes

    Last time I was at a carrier dealership they had something called a "reefer sweeper" broom. Basically the bristles were at different lengths to fit into the grooves on the trailer floor....
