they should add reefer trailer fuel so you got to fuel up the reefer trailers at the gas stations

I actually agree to this. I'd also like to hear the engine for the reefer running.

Reefer trailer = refridgerated trailer.

These types of trailers are used for temperature controlled freight.

They run on gas to keep it cold?

Reefers run on diesel. :)

This is a Reefer Unit. It sticks to the front of the trailer. They typically run on diesel.

This was suggested at SCS Forums a few months ago. SCS seemed interested in the idea.

Personally I think they should concentrate on DEF before looking at refueling reefers. At the moment DEF is useless as it is used slower than diesel and is automatically refilled when you fill up the diesel tanks so it never becomes a factor. Not being a trucker I'm not that aware of how much fuel the reefers go through, but would it be likely that you'd have to refill it on any but the longest trips?

Saying refrigerated is quite hard, I agree.

I saw one of these today! :D
There was a trailer just sitting in a lot so I drove by the front of it and it had that thing on it. It's a lot bigger in person than the picture implies. It was even the same model, Thermo King.

I don't usually see them except for store delivery vehicles to places like gas stations and resturaunts.

Cheech and Chong had a reefer truck back in the 70's man, be careful though they're flammable.

No it doesn't, and no it isn't.

I mean, you're not wrong in the overall sentiment (that is, DEF is currently useless) but technically it's actually because none of the trucks are even configured for DEF, period.

No configured DEF tanks on any of the chassis and no configured consequence for DEF starvation in any of the engines.
