    Pro tip. Once the trailer is at temperature, shut the reefer off to save fuel. It's basically a big cooler, and all the frozen stuff is like the ice.....






    Right???

    So many wonderful tips on these forums. I'm sure to earn the "super mega employee of the year best rookie ever" award in my first 3 months of driving!
