Sidewall cross section

What the commercial trucks wall is actually made of

Every water and delamination decision on this vehicle comes back to the layer order in the sidewall. Outermost layer first:

  1. 01FRP or aluminum panel
  2. 02Structural post
  3. 03Foam or balsa core on reefer bodies
  4. 04Interior scuff liner
Bond system
Bonded FRP panel adhesive on dry vans, riveted post and panel on aluminum bodies
Moisture path
Water enters at roof bows, the front bulkhead joint and rear frame corners, then tracks along the post and surfaces as a stained or bulging interior liner.
Crossover point
A delaminated reefer liner is replaced by the panel, not patched. Insulation value does not come back once the core is wet.
Where this is evaluated
In shop at the Yorba Linda facility. Moisture mapping is part of the priced evaluation and is credited against an authorized repair.

Will insurance cover refrigerated truck on my commercial trucks?

If the damage is from a covered loss, generally yes, and the shop bills direct with every major carrier. Wear, age and deferred maintenance are usually owner pay. The evaluation tells you which side of that line the damage falls on before you file.

How does water reach this area on a commercial trucks?

Water enters at roof bows, the front bulkhead joint and rear frame corners, then tracks along the post and surfaces as a stained or bulging interior liner. That path is why the entry point and the damage you can see are rarely in the same place, and why the evaluation maps the whole run rather than the stain.
