You can do all training FB, IF theres an instructor in the yard. Good luck with that. We dont have as many over here. I know 2 personally. One on the same board as I am, and one on someone elses board. Still a possibility of getting a cute truck, but not nearly as good as on the reefer side.

Just luck of the draw if theres anyone in the yard or not. Black steel tarps are light. Blue lumber tarps weigh over 100 pounds each. Ive got both blues on the load I got now. Most places will put the tarps up for you. Current load was preloaded, so I put um up myself.
