A dumb reefer question

[greg334]

Well as I am a captive audience to anyone who walks by and asks what's wrong, one guy asked me what isn't my reefer unit vented and I told him no.

But that leads me to a rather uninformed question, what is the reason to vent a reefer and why would I want to do that with my straight truck?

Oh I did find a a Taco wagon...... well sort of.....a guy on a bike pedaling food.

For humidity control.
Tend to see them on the produce hauling trailers.
Or.....so cargo coming up from the border can breath.

That's what I thought.

some of your produce loads just need ventalation,so you open the vent doors on both ends,example,onions,watermelons.When I was hauling produce,you could put your unit into defrost mode and lower the weight of your onion load a great deal,you would be legal by 1st scale in Florida,when you loaded in Homested
