We largely do not operate our own fleets we have third party contracts but I consulted with the people within Maple Leaf who have responsibility for our fleet and we have no knowledge of this issue in recent years.

I suspect that high pressure jets were used to "clean" these trucks, and as a result, particles of meat were splashed up behind the reefers. When we pulled these for repairs, there was always a nasty mess of rotting meat and maggots behind them. This was only a problem with ML vehicles, so it obviously had something to do with the cleaning methods unique to Maple Leaf.
