reefer unit on straight truck

[new member]

Good morning, Does the age of the reefer unit matter for a straight truck if it’s maintained properly? I was told by a recruiter at Landstar it can’t be more than 7 years old but then someone’s else there said it just has to pass inspections. Kindov confusing. Thnks!

Some carriers are going to be more picky than others. Some won't even take on a refer truck.

I believe the 7 year restriction for Landstar is only for the Cold Chain (TVAL - temp-validated) department which is mostly high dollar pharmaceutical freight. There is other reefer freight at Landstar that isn’t considered cold chain(TVAL) that you should be able to haul. Call Landstar if you need further clarification on it.
