What to Look for When Buying a Reefer Truck in Minnesota
- Refrigeration unit brand — Carrier Transicold and Thermo King dominate; check unit hours (reefer units last 15,000–25,000 hours)
- Temperature range — single-temp (one zone) vs. multi-temp (up to 3 zones for different products)
- Box insulation — foam panels; check for delamination, water infiltration, and door seal condition
- Box dimensions — interior width and height determine what pallets fit; standard pallet clearance is critical

Reefer Truck Truck FAQ
How do I check the condition of a refrigeration unit on a used reefer truck?
Request the reefer unit maintenance log and pull its hour meter reading. Units with over 20,000 hours may need major overhaul soon. Run the unit through a full cool-down cycle to verify it reaches target temperature. Inspect coils, belts, and door seals. Carrier and Thermo King certified service dealers can perform a pre-purchase inspection.
What is a multi-temp reefer trailer and when do I need one?
Multi-temp trailers have two or three separate temperature zones, each with its own refrigeration circuit. They let a single trailer carry frozen goods (-10°F), fresh produce (34°F), and ambient products on the same run. Multi-temp trailers are common in grocery distribution and eliminate the need for multiple truck trips.
Do reefer trucks require any special CDL endorsements?
No special endorsement is required to drive a reefer truck beyond the standard Class A CDL (for tractor-trailers) or Class B CDL (for straight truck reefers over 26,001 lbs). Hauling certain hazardous materials (dry ice, some chemicals) may require an H endorsement.
