I wanted to make a video helping to lower the anxiety of people thinking about becoming a reefer hauler. there's not a whole lot to it but I just wanted to make a video demonstrating how to control the head unit and talk about the difference in Dryvan and reefer.

I don't know why you got some dislikes, you are a big help for new reefer truck drivers...keep it up, bud.

[@2Pish]

Reefer drivers go through some of the toughest shit in the industry and yet without them, we wouldn't be able to eat. Thank you CiKt

[@Greenbearls]

I've heard horror stories with these shipers and receivers. That's why I do flatbed. If they're open and they're not unloading/loading someone else they typically will get to you asap.

[@popstevens75]

I like the motorized headache rack. never heard a reefer unit called that

[@nextgendankplays4000]

I work in a reefer warehouse I learned a lot in this video I have also loaded reefer trailers I’ve loaded jellos/ pudding lunchables all types of cheese and pickles also have unloaded I’ve noticed when I’m off loading pallets are bent or spilled and really sucks having to pick it all up

[@troywatson9588]

thanks for the education, i start on motorized headache rack LOL next week.

[@CashisKingtrucking]

LoL good luck

[@Greenbearls]

Good luck.

hi Bruce, are you interested in a new driving job? Please let me know, Midwest Refrigerated is hiring Company Drivers and Owner Operators

[@p.emerson0864]

You will have the most issues with frozen loads set at -10/-15°....some trailers won't keep up. You will need to monitor the unit every couple hours or so to make sure it's still working! I've had a unit turn off itself after fueling because of air in the fuel system! Open the unit doors and use the primer.....use start/restart button as necessary.....pump the hell out of it until it starts and stays running....it might take several attempts, but don't wait too long to call for service....frozen will lose about -1° internal product temp per hour!

[@CashisKingtrucking]

I've got a video coming out soon about the frozen food loads and certain trailers

[@p.emerson0864]

@@CashisKingtrucking , I was just throwing that out there for anyone who's never done reefer. I've even had to use a screwdriver on the starter solenoid to start them before.....like an old Ford....lol.

[@redcandi01]

I heard you should cut it off if the gas is at or below 1/4 before you fuel it... that should prevent the problem

[@j.m.5995]

Or you can get the Thermo King with the electric Primer/Lift pump

[@trentallman984]

Reefer equals waiting at every stop. Dry van means 4 out 5 stops are about an hour. More time driving is more money. Not to mention you often have rejected food that you have to deal with.

[@CashisKingtrucking]

That's why reefer pays more

[@trentallman984]

@@CashisKingtrucking you can have it, I did my time hauling produce and chicken. Flatbed pays but I don't want to tarp.

[@j.m.5995]

Reefers suck. You end up waiting all the time everywhere you go and end up having to make deliveries in the dead of night. Never have I ever been so fatigued than when I was pulling reefer freight!!!

[@kingsleysarfo.]

farm I wanna do reefer for prime but not if not gonna get miles like say 2300 and up like you said caise of sitting.... ?

[@dominick253]

Usually you roll it up and smoke it 😜

[@chilidog1]

Hey there Brother Cash!! Not sure how I missed this one. Question, for example in your case as an O/O, what if the Reefer Unit breaks down, does Loves and those places do repairs on those as well? And to protect the load (ice cream for example), then what as time would be of the essence? Thanks buddy.

[@CashisKingtrucking]

Yeah if your reefer has problems you need to take it to a reefer repair typically carrier or Thermo King there's a few mechanic shops that work on them. Yes time is of the essence.

[@chilidog1]

@@CashisKingtrucking Ok thank you, I've been wondering about that. Especially if a load was to get ruined because it couldn't get fixed in time. Let's hope that don't happen. Thanks again Cash.

[@mrcain6894]

Interesting Video. Whats the temperature limits on the reefer?

[@CashisKingtrucking]

-20 to 70. Trailers lose insulating value as they get older so -20 on an older reefer trailer is tough

[@ericward9159]

When you dock at the receiver do you allow the reefer to run or shut it off? I get tired of being docked for up to 6 hours with a frozen load set at -10 & the reefer ending up in defrost mode constantly trying to keep at temp with doors open wasting my fuel. I always override the "door open" sensor that automatically shuts the unit down while docked at the shipper or receiver. The receiver documents temp readings upon arrival of a delivery to make sure temp on reefer matches temp on the bills. But sitting in a door for hours waiting to unload or load with doors open & reefer running wide open struggling to keep at temp makes no sense to me. It's a HUGE waste of fuel that they are not paying for & the product is not staying at temp during the process anyways. I let mine run because I don't want to give them any reason to reject my load. I arrive on time & at propper temperature documented by security at the gate. But sit for hours with doors open in a dock door waiting & wasting fuel?

[@CashisKingtrucking]

Most of the time i let it run. I do get fed up and cut it off sometimes

[@paceta80]

Reefer drivers get too much hate. There's a lot to deal with in this division. Also, everyone has to eat too!

[@nicholasfisher2729]

Good video. Been doing dry van for 6 years thought I would try something new I start this week with reefer subscribed are you still monitoring this channel if I have questions Thanks man?

[@JeffBobUSA]

Do you pulp every other pallet while loading and do you use a digital temperature gauge? Also do you shut down the reefer while loading? Thanks

[@CashisKingtrucking]

I randomly pulp a few pallets and I like to use the digital thermometer as much as possible. It depends if I shut down the reefer or not. If they don't take forever I'll leave it running. If they ain't even started loading it after a couple hours I'll shut it off.

[@JeffBobUSA]

Thanks for your help!

[@alizaheer6153]

Hey brother if BOL says maintain 35F temperature. Do you run continuously or start and stop at 35F ?

[@CashisKingtrucking]

Depends on the product and the temperature outside. I always run produce continuous.

If I have to I can scale 45,000 just depends on the weight of your truck and your trailer. The reefer unit adds about 1700 lb to the weight of the trailer

Reefers are nightmare. Sitting at warehouse forever, You miss appointment it's like end of the world, The noise ,the washing jobs also you mentio 100-$200 a week reefer fuel not a big deal , Are you serious ?! That's about 8000 plus ➕ a year 😳

[@DarkSideOfTheGame22]

Yes but it’s also about 3k deferents a month between dry and reefer and that’s about 36k a year I have done both in my 20 years of driving I prefer reefer better because of the money I had Termoking this units last for about 35k to 40k hours I sold my trailer with 35k hours on it in 12 years of owning my trailer never had major issues with the unite you just have to maintain regularly just as if your doing oil change on your car same are this trailers not a big deal !!!
