Frequently asked questions
What do reefer drivers haul?
Reefer drivers commonly haul produce, frozen food, dairy, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other freight that must stay within a specified temperature range.
Do reefer drivers unload the trailer?
The carrier and customer determine the process. Many loads use lumpers or customer staff, but drivers should confirm who handles unloading and how wait time is paid.
What makes reefer pay different?
Pay depends on route, miles, stops, appointment work, detention, seasonal freight, and the carrier's policy for temperature checks and extra handling.
