Rainy, Don't you have any paper towels on your Truck?

Don't laugh... I did try to wipe it down. I was that desperate. But I have a lot of time on this load cause FM is out for personal time. Every time he takes off I get "rookie runs". But then I guess I should appreciate the break.

Fm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

I know this is too late now, but fuel hog and crank the reefer up to 95 or however high it will go.

Got a load assignment before that the reefer had to be 100% clean and 100% dry (sterilized pill bottles). I washed it out and did the 38 fuel hog or whatever that Prime says. I got to the 01 a couple hours later and it looked like I had just left the wash.

Cranked the temp all the way up on fuel hog and by the time the air reached 90 degrees it was dry. There was just a couple of spots that we had to wipe down.

I'm no scientist but I can only guess that it works better because hot air holds more water in it than cool air (growing up on the Gulf Coast one learns something about relative humidity).

If you have an inspection door, open that as well.
