Wow, you must be new if you don't keep track of the hours on the reference. As someone who has been flying for many years, I'll tell you straight up: Motor hours matter more than paint and the cabin. They essentially show the actual "mileage" of the refrigeration unit and indicate when expensive services will be needed and whether you'll get stuck in the middle of a route. Gettransport has a great article https://blog.gettransport.com/news/reefe...r-freight/ about when you should start worrying; it's better to read about it there. After 18,000–20,000 hours, the risks increase sharply, which affects logistics planning and customer confidence. It's better to take the hours into account in advance than to experience downtime and lose money.
