[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1178808, member: 43436"] We have a very large shipper in which UPS provides either company-owned or leased (not sure which) 48'/53' refrigerated trailers. The shipper then fills the trailers, and they're hauled directly to some of the larger UPS hubs around the country by either UPS feeder drivers or contractors. I have absolutely no idea how these trailers are returned to the shipper -- the business is heavily tilted toward spring/summer/some fall and never receive these trailers in our facility -- expect during peak during peak season, when we routinely receive one nearly every day from CACH (and at least one from another hub) that's then hauled back to the shipper. When CACH sends the load to us, I assume they turn off the refrigerant, but the trailer's usually dripping water throughout -- which is why I assume UPS would prefer not to use them for regular use -- and well-insulated as it's [B]freezing[/B]. I'm somebody who loves the cold, and hardly ever wears a winter jacket, but I need one for those trailers... [/QUOTE]
