Typical reefer load/unload times

Lemmie get my Magic 8 Ball and see what the future holds.

 

Load is usually 2 hours if load is ready and broker didn't lie about pickup time
Unloading is different story.

1 if you are in Obama supporters area or in area highly controlled by the unions be ready for 10 off
2 If you have trailer loaded with only one product it's not takes so long to unload as a deli load.
3 Why you didn't ask how long it gonna take to have BOL signed?

 

Welllll....@ a Wally Mart DC......4 hours.....until I got smart told the ladies behind the prison glass we run off of 1 hour detention pay @ 40 an hour with a nice forged note and presto, 45 minutes

 

Load times are usually during daylight hours; unload times are usually midnight to 6am.

I prefer long haul reefer work because with erratic schedule, can get rested on those cross country runs and be ready for the weird hours when you arrive at the shipper/receiver. I did refrigerated trucking most of my career and it was fine and made decent money.

 

Receiver .. it will be a few hours were swamped
Me ... great I'm tired I've been up all night to get it here . Bang on bunk a few dozen times when your done okay...
end result is often 30 mins and your empty and rolling with a smile on your face

 

Most know about detention and after two hours the will "start"

 

Walmart will not even consider paying detention time until the 4th hour past the appointment time is exceeded and there is NO OSD, and that's assuming you got your bills to the receiving window prior to appointment time. They aren't intimidated with detention threats. Odds are sooner or later you will get a prompt unload at Walmart, regardless.

It's also worth noting that dry van hauling is not excepted from the occasional 3 or 4 hour unload.

 

Yeah don't mind what I said it never works just like throwing a 20 to get loaded faster what world am I in.

 

on average 2-4 hrs. I've never arrived somewhere and got immediately unloaded or loaded. There is always some kind of wait.
