    Oh yeah that reminds me once I saw a reefer owner operator he had everything you could think of on his truck. Even the inside of his trailer had LED lights inside of it. Dude must have been making $300,000+ per year.

    Seems like half the complaints are related to trying to feed too little fuel at too much pump.

    There are places that will fix a dead reefer loaded. Carrier in Denver did mine one night. Saved the load. I had to cross 70 anyway so... from Junction when it died to the west.

    The people bothering you, pestering you can be solved by picking a mountain spot 1 or 2 hours from customer.

    Get deaf like me, reefers howl and I sleep like a baby, until they cough or quit.

    Why are you cooling at 30 or 29? Make it 20. Give yourself some room. It's already frozen. Right? Most of the time Im at -20 or whatever unless when Im hauling PAINT that needs 70 in winter.

    Again that reefer fuel will spray back at you when you try to pump too fast into a volume too small to accept it. Go slow. (That is one reason I love 100 gallon tanks. Click. Done. None of those 20 gallon squirt jobs.)

    Im not here to give you a hard time. Reefer work is a certain way of going about life, noise and all.

    If I had to complain, trailers without a password get shut off by the one next to me. Then it's battery cable snipped when I crank it again.
