Definitions
1
A temperature-controlled trailer with its own diesel-powered fridge unit bolted to the nose. Hauls everything from ice cream to pharmaceuticals. Pays better than dry van because the equipment costs more and the loads are time-sensitive — but the reefer unit chugging away all night is the soundtrack of every truck stop.
“I'm running a reefer load of strawberries from California to Chicago.”
