Some folks wait forever to get reefers loaded and unloaded... then there's o'dark early appointments, and the noise the reefer makes. Prime has a really aggressive detention policy which cuts down on that...
But really ya know what it is? Flatbed guys just ain't tough enough to be a reefer guy!
Going to start at prime.

Why not tanker? Make more starting and still get a work out lugging hoses around, etc. ... I just finished training at Prime and it isn't bad as long as you have your ducks in a row.

I don't want to do tanker and ip aren't you a flatbed guy?

A year or so ago I backed into a slot next to a Landstar flatbed... hopped out and headed into the Flippin' J. I needed to send a trip report since I was EMPTY (remember this part) and wanted a cup of coffee to accompany me in my deadhead miles that evening... another point to remember.
When I got back, I noticed the flatbed had left... well kinda. Walking the dog before I departed I noticed he'd moved to another spot. Before I left (been there a grand total of maybe 20 minutes,) I couldn't resist informing him 1) the reefer was off since I was empty and 2) I was leaving.
The jerk gave me a really sour look... -
Iron... I was going to send you a pm tonight... but your inbox is full...

It's not so much about being tough getting into n outta of the dock...... It's the fact that Most flatbedders would never make into the dock in the first place...... The next flatbedder I see hit a spot within the 15 tries will be the first....

You better carry a big wad of cash with you, because every time you write a COM data check, it is a dollar out of your pocket, plus a buck every week out of your check, for the privilege of carrying a fuel card. I always thought prime should eat those charges, like most companies do.
Prime is a greedy company, but you can make some money with them, if you know how to run.
