Reefer

In short

A reefer is a refrigerated trailer. It hauls anything that can spoil: meat, fish, produce, ice cream.

In plain words

It's like dating a girl who's always cold.

The AC is a little off, and the mood is ruined.

Same deal here: the temperature drifts a couple of degrees, and the whole load can get rejected.

That's why reefer drivers watch the temp all the time and log it in the paperwork.

The upside: reefers usually pay more than a regular trailer.
