    Dive into the pro's refrigeration section and learn all you can. Tell prospective employers you want to learn, eager to learn, and will do what you need to do to make it happen. Patience is key in doing the work. Devising a troubleshooting system comes with time. No real substitute though for standing in front of a machine that's full of product that's dead in the water and the owner saying "How much longer? Am I going to lose all of my product?"

    That was the only reefer experience I've had, had to change a fan blade in a freezer, does that suck. I kept thinking I was going to get locked in like in the movies!

    When you're standing in a cage on a forklift and the fans from all the other evaporators are still running while you're working on the bad one during the summer on the day after you took you took your bibs out to wash them but neglected to put them back in the van because, well it's summertime and who wears bibs in the summertime?

    Why is it that those who complain the most contribute the least?

    No, not union. They did a couple of Safeways when I worked there, but not many.

    I just spoke to someone with Hillphoenix (this is the way they currently style their name) this Wed. He said the only service ops they have is Phoenix and L.A. I asked about the N.J. operation, he said it's done. I asked about the nearly 30 Tyler Service branches, he said they never became Hillphoenix Service branches and they're shut down. Can anyone working for Hillphoenix verify any of this? It seems Hussmann's biggest competitor would be inclined to service what they sell.

    Refrigeration companies are always hiring, but if you have been ALL over the place that will tell them that A your horrible or B you have issues. I can't stand when we hire someone that has been to 5 jobs in one year, to me that's saying something about the individual.
