    I've NEVER sealed an empty trailer going across the border and they've never said @#$&. Blaine, WA wants the doors open. Nobody else cares. If they want to look inside, they'll send you through X-ray.

    Must be regional, never once had a seal on a loaded or empty trailer coming through Coutts or Blaine weekly for more than a decade. Met a few prime, #1 a-holes, usually on the American side, but nobody ever cared about a seal.

    That’s why you keep the unit set to 65 degrees and on continuous run. That way they will be fresh and ready to work!

    Preferred the Cable Style, when Loaded.
    Always Locked Open Doors.
