What reefer drivers look for — and what most postings miss
Reefer drivers carry more responsibility than dry van — temperature variance can cost a carrier an entire load rejection. The two questions every experienced reefer driver asks before applying: who pays for reefer fuel, and who's liable if a load is rejected for temp? If your posting doesn't answer both, they assume the worst and move on.
- Reefer fuel policy — state explicitly that reefer unit fuel is carrier-covered. If it's driver-deducted, disclose it upfront. Nothing burns a driver faster than finding out on their first settlement.
- Load rejection policy — if a driver follows protocol and a load still gets rejected for temperature, are they protected? Experienced reefer drivers know to ask this.
- Equipment condition — mention the reefer unit brand (Thermo King, Carrier) and that units are maintained. A driver stuck with a malfunctioning reefer unit at 2am is a nightmare they've likely lived through.
- Pre-cooling requirements — mention it in the duties. It signals you understand reefer operations, not just trucking in general.
