Reefer breakdiwn coverage?

I am thinking about doing some power only stuff and curious what I can expect to pay on reefer breakdown coverage? Thank you.

Not leasing onto but running under own authority.

Still should be under the trailer owners insurance but mine runs a little over 10.00/month/truck.

Well this is lovely, my insurance won't offer me reefer breakdown coverage. Anybody have any ideas?

What are you hauling? If you do the everything you have to do to cover it under the reefer breakdown shouldn't be a problem without it.

The company we are going to do it for requires reefer breakdown. Roughly 20% boxed meats, 60% other frozen groceries and rest dry goods.

Could be tough on another partys trailer/unit. If its always a different trailer tougher yet. If something happens they usually want maintenance records.

Yes I agree it will be tough. I do know I'm going to make a inspection sheet so drivers can go over everytime they stop or once every xxxx hours. That way during each haul we are protected little better.
