    Wow... specs? That’s expensive af. Not saying not worth it but what did you require for specs?

    See post number 4, I made a boo boo.

    Or I mean, I had the gold plated wheels and the hot tub options.

    Actually you’re kinda close on that $90,000 for a 3 or 4 axle refer. At least thats what Ive seen in the truck paper when I briefly looked at refers.

    Utility reefer trailers, you have to be picky about parking straight and level or closing swinging doors is troublesome.

    I've gotten pretty good with them but the experience isn't painless.

    We had a Wabash for hauling ice cream , with a Carrier unit , it did great had to pre cool it to -20 before loading.
    The interior light package worked well and it would be on my spec list on any van trailer.

    I see a lot of danes in food service applications. Willow Run specs out 48ft spring ride danes. Tough as nails built like a tank imo. With 3 side doors, ramp, they were 21,000 and $86,000 a pop
