i heard on the CB they just starting making refrigerator flatbeds...

But for some strange reason they only work in Jan-Mar, and only in the Midwest and Northeastern states...strange. Still working on the bugs I guess :shock:

How noisey are they for when your trying to sleep?
Depends on the age of the trailer. Some are loud and the new ones you will bearly hear.
Does this require me to unload trailer?
depends on the company you work for and what you are hauling. Grocery warehouses will require you to either unload it yourself or hire a lumper. I would hire a lumper if the company pays for it(most do)
Will i be only going to grocery stores?
Actual stores, doubtful. Grocery warhouses, most likely. Be propered for LONG waits, lumps, washouts, etc.
Are there Mulitple stops with one trailer?
Very possible. Alot of Reefer companies are now doing LTL loads(multi-stop)
Am i supposed to fuel the cooling system and how?
Cooling system, NO. Trailer, YES. Just like fueling the tractor, they have there own fuel tank
Can you give me a scenario of a typical reefer driver experience?
I pulled a foodservice reefer regionally, can't really help you there, contact LUCKY13, he was with MARTEN for 10 years. He would know(or any of the other reefer drivers on here)
Central Refrigerated is a company i'm looking at...
Only know what I heard from some of thier drivers. Might want to see if you can talk to a driver for them(current of former), they could help better

Thank Again
Be Safe Out There!
