Well I could have bored you with technical aspects about refrigeration, such as explaining how cold merely the absence of heat is. Or by stating the BTU rate per hour of the average unit, or other such things that are important but just not that exciting.
Reefers are an important piece of equipment. They are also an essential part of any major carrier’s fleet. They do require like and the other types of trucks if not even more a proper maintenance scheduled. Then again, so does every piece of equipment, from the copier to the rig.
As I have always said, look into your options. You can get used or new. You can get a wide variety of extras. For those of you who have either looked into this or already own a reefer, what suggestions do you have? What are some of the things to watch out for?
