I watch each of your videos several times to pick up the free education. Thanks again, I’m working on that CDL . Nothing beats an educated trucker, it keeps you ahead of the game.
Very good information but 1 thing is the more specialized your trailer the more it pays example an RGN makes a fun ton more than a dry box I know it’s comparing apples and oranges but it’s a concept I try to keep in mind
I would still buy a reefer because the rates on the reefer is not different and you can still run dry loads around March to July is your peak on reefer then you got holidays but it's always the fuel that we're up against but I would still run reefer
My opinion! Reefer trailer means grocery warehouse and grocery warehouses are a pain in the a**. Delays, To much attitude and a complete disrespect for drivers. I'll go with a 53' swinging door spread axel dry van all day long.
My dad loved hauling refrigerated freight. Especially the Florida to Cali runs. What I noticed traveling with my dad when he was alive was dealing with the dry freight was very easy and refrigerated freight was a little more cumbersome.
You already got a truck you pay for that you can't fix, now you about to get a engine on your trailer you can't fix neither.stay low cost..just go dry or go to a thermoking or carrier school to get some knowledge
Don't forget hunting for a washout in a reefer burning more clock. Appointment's at midnight and in a door to 8am no thank you. Dry van all day long over reefer
Good morning Bra Question for you I’m getting my authority right and I trying to figure out the correct way to let the insurance agent know what I’m hauling . For instance I have a refer and I’m hauling refrigerated goods . I know I’m not hauling hazmat loads and I don’t need that coverage but do I need coverage for house hold goods cause I will be using the trailer for dry van as well.. I’m just not sure what coverage I need because I heard that they run your coverages up if u say the wrong thing .
@@HTlogistics87 I was driving for this O/O he let them put all that crap in his reefer and hauled it for $505 from Phoenix to San Diego... I need my own truck is Richie Bros a good place to get them from?
@@kngpin48 richie bros is ok I've been there a few times but go to truck paper and look up some auctions there you can get different auctions I'm looking for another one myself to check out to make a video
O shit i didn’t know u Can run dry items in a reefer van. Is it the same way if you’re company !? 🤔 and overall reefer runs more then dry can so that mean they make more money pretty much
@@HTlogistics87 I’m in stupid Connecticut right now. Ans there is a big shortage of dry vans all around! Even if you are lucky enough to find one they are over pricing it. 2016 going for 20k
Long time no see Big Chris..I'm considering switching from flat bed to dry van...What specs on a dry van trailer should I be looking for? What will inable me to carry the most loads? Thanks in advance...
I got some dry van trailers videos but mainly you just want 53 ft swing doors and food grade which means no holes in the ceiling or floor and make sure you get 15 years no older then that
Okay thanks I'm looking to get a 48ft reefer I got my eye on one for a nice price.. it needs a couple panels done over but that's not a very big deal because they price is right with 8000 hours on the T.King it's in very good shape.. I stay tuned in to your channel and have learned so so much.. thanks HT keep it going ...
Reefer... I run only 5 states DE NJ MD VA & middle lower PA... I only run 600-1000 miles a week & still make $3000 after $700-$840 in fuel & %4 to TBS my factoring company.. I dont always pull reefer freight u get a reefer bc u can pull van freight in it too.. but u have to make sure the loads say VR on the load board
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for watching and always appreciate your support

Yes indeed appreciate your support im glad the channel is helping you
I did reefer for 2months and switched to dry van. Reefer requires alot of time in the docks vs dry van where you drop and go getting more miles in
Thanks a million Bra I got a 09 reefer I’m going to run it until the summer and get a newer one it has 17000 hours on it
david robinson bro that thing is still fresh why would you get something newer if it’s fine? What unit do you have on it ?
Thanks for the knowledge.
You are real with it 💯
Also with refer trailer ,you can haul dry van loads,may be 4/5 thousands pounds less
Very good information but 1 thing is the more specialized your trailer the more it pays example an RGN makes a fun ton more than a dry box I know it’s comparing apples and oranges but it’s a concept I try to keep in mind
HT, it's 2023.... would you still buy a reefer in this market or a Dry van?
I would still buy a reefer because the rates on the reefer is not different and you can still run dry loads around March to July is your peak on reefer then you got holidays but it's always the fuel that we're up against but I would still run reefer

Dry van can be easier just depends on where you live and if you take certain lanes on reefer thanks for watching
My dad loved hauling refrigerated freight. Especially the Florida to Cali runs. What I noticed traveling with my dad when he was alive was dealing with the dry freight was very easy and refrigerated freight was a little more cumbersome.
Yup because sometimes delivering that reefer freight can take forever because it's hard to unload with thos lumpers
Capstone lumpers are full of shit I seen them do drivers dirty and drivers rip their trailer end off trying to get unhooked from the dock
Why does everyone like reefer trailers who wants appointments at 9pm 12am hell I'm asleep at those hours
I always enjoy your 2nd opinions!!! 👍🏼
Well I appreciate that and thanks for watching

You tell them for dry van general freight for reefer you say dry van and produce freight because you will have both in a reefer
Thanks for breaking that down for us big chris!
Yes sir I figured it would help a little bit appreciate you watching bro I hope all is well with you
@HT logistics3434 were you on that movie "COLORS" busted in a suspected 187 van by LAPD?
Good video boss man !!
Appreciate that bro and you be safe out there
I just wanted a newer unit that’s all but I’m going to run it though..
Good points bro
Appreciate that bro and thanks for watching
What’s your opinion on Tanker HT? Great video!
Tanker for company drivers do well they make good money it's a little more challenging to own a tanker but being an owner operator in tanker is ok
How much time you spent pulling reefer?
1 year and I liked some of it but dry van is quicker
I want to start a trucking company
Good Info ht👊
Thanks bro and appreciate you stopping by be safe out there
I picked up some Truck parts (transmissions, axels and a truck cab) in s reefer trailer... I'm making the switch to tanker...Uber Freight sucks!
Lol uber freight is hit and miss depends week to week

Do u think it's bad ideal have both trailers?
Depends if you have a customer that preload you then yes but if not no
O shit i didn’t know u Can run dry items in a reefer van. Is it the same way if you’re company !? 🤔 and overall reefer runs more then dry can so that mean they make more money pretty much
Yes sir you can
It’s a thermoking
There is no used dry vans available. Would you recommend buying a brand new one for 40k?
No I would not recommend it and also YES there is plenty of used dry van trailers for sale where are you looking? 🤔
@@HTlogistics87 I’m in stupid Connecticut right now. Ans there is a big shortage of dry vans all around! Even if you are lucky enough to find one they are over pricing it. 2016 going for 20k

HT. Would it be harder to get loaded with a 48ft reefer.. what is your thoughts on it
Not for reefer loads but dry van loads will be harder so it depends on what you're hauling more of
Okay thanks I'm looking to get a 48ft reefer I got my eye on one for a nice price.. it needs a couple panels done over but that's not a very big deal because they price is right with 8000 hours on the T.King it's in very good shape..

You cant find a dry box for that price now lol I know this is a old video, so just joking
