Hi, I was hauling cabbage in a 53 feet reefer. I picked up cabbage on Thursday and will be delivering Monday morning. The set temperature was 34 degrees on a continuous mode. They also put a temp recorder. I had a reefer breakdown and it took dealer 9 hours to complete repairs. Meanwhile temp inside the box rose to 57 degrees. What to expect when I will be delivering cabbage on Monday? Will it be rejected?

Depends on what it was for. If it was going for slaw it was a lesser grade to begin with. Any problems when delivering don't leave untill inspected by USDA.

Throw out the temp recorder and play dumb.

dont do that, you should of informed broker, only 9hr and upto 57deg it should be fine,they will ck it. the 57deg is the air temp in the trl not the produce tepm.

thanks for the advice, today I got unloaded and bills are clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did nothing, and it was a good solution.

I'm glad it worked out for you. If they had rejected the load, what then?

Look for a hog farm.

most places(produce) have a contact with a 2nd byer at 25% who eats the lost 75% depend on reason,

Too funny!

hog farm ))))
