    I don't think it is a violation. However I would only drive it with this damage until you can get to either a terminal or a TK dealer.

    It's tacky looking and probably a major embarrassment to drive but I don't think it's illegal.
    If no engine parts are falling out on the ground you're good to go.
    Keep writing it up.

    I see lots like that. I don't think it's illegal. As long as what's left of that door doesn't fall off.
    I've seen them where almost the entire cover is missing lol.

    How do they write that up for a violation, it isn't one. There is nothing that the fmcsa regs says about reefers and the covers on them.
