Are there that many people leaving in significant numbers? It seems to me that companies are expanding, which would lead me to believe they're doing well and not hurting for customers.
I appreciate your vulnerability in sharing your frustration. There is no doubt, that no matter how prepared you are, it will be frustrating to loose things. Actually... I wonder if it might not be more frustrating to be more prepared and still lose things. I take your point though.
Perhaps giving new reefers information on regular maintenance rather than starting points may be a change. For someone who knows nothing, something like this may be enough info to make them know that they may need to do more research. If they understand this stuff, then they start with an idea of equipment that they may need and that it can get more complex.
There may not be people leaving in significant #'s. Very possible the industry could be growing. I hope it is. Mentioned before there are alot of great people in the hobby. Many who generously shared their valuable time to do the level best to help me.
Thank you for your kind words. You bring up an excellent point about being more prepared if that would be a benefit or not.
I think its a great idea on giving new reefers information on regular maintenance and may provide enough info to do some more research.
Thank You
