    It's fairly easy to tell if it was a reefer trailer because it would have the big refrigeration unit mounted on the front of the trailer, OR there would be a big square hole in the front where the reefer unit was mounted. A standard 53' dry van trailer weighs in at between 15,000 and 20,000 lbs. Your 42 footer should be a bit less than that.
