Cool

It you haul bulk you will have to hook up lines and run the pneumatic pump on your truck. Vans you just open the doors. Of course you could have to fingerprint some freight, depends on the company.

Unfortunately ,they are two very different animals. I would suggest you learn to yank a tank first, if you decide to change your mind there isn't much to pulling a freight box, unless you haul freight in a crane van, or blanket wrap. Or tractors, in which case make sure you have a big (4' at least) crow bar and a 2 to 5 lb hammer.
