anyone haul apples?

I've done a bunch of apple loads from West Michigan and once from Upstats NY. All palletized at 35-36 continuous. Usually delivered to Walmart DC. I noticed they pay pretty well, usually around $3/mile

 

I haul a lot of apples out of the Northwest. Always 34 continuous (all produce loads are continuous where I work).

 

I'm hauling a load out of Wenatchee, wa right now.....33 continuous.

 

last load I did, customer wants 33 continuous, but my company told me to make it 36 continuous.

 

Excuse my ignorance here, but what is meant by continuous? Like repeated turns, or repeated weights?

 

You can set most modern day refrigeration units 2 ways...start/stop(on/off)or Continuous...most fresh products are set on continuous which means the unit never shuts off--therefore you have airflow around the product at all times--in on/off mode--you set a temp and the unit gets to that point--then shuts off and kicks back on from time to time to keep at that temp

 

Reefer runs continuously, as opposed to cycle mode.

 

Kinda like your central heat and air back home, you can set it with the thermostat and the fan on 'auto' which is like start/stop. If you put the fan "on" that would be like continuous.

 

Gotcha, good to know

 

When I am hauling apples I run start stop until the outside temp reaches 15 degrees than I switch it to continuous. Never had a problem.
