Favorite Type of Trucking

When u get a year of experience . Check out kaizer transport. They pay real well. They put together ltl loads on step, rg, and double drops. I was gonna go with them but decided to sign with dsv instead. They haul some cool #### .

 

Might want to check out some Tank Lines in Louisiana. Safety Kleen comes to mind. Good place to hang your hat.

 

Yeah they run all pete 389 i believe. 18 speeds. O/O specd trucks... they haul oversize and only need 1 year exp to qualify with them... based out of wisconsin . They run west coast, midwest, and east coast .

 

Dry van. Quieter than a reefer, and doesn't kick your *** like food grade tanker.

 

I’m going to start off pulling reefer, that’s what my dad did before he retired so that’s what I want to start off pulling too.

 

For me it’s local flatbed. I dint have to tarp, just strap so it’s easy and I get a moffett forklift so it’s not bad. I like doing multi stop loads and I like getting out of the truck and strapping/unstrapping because it keeps me active. I have serious respect for the real flatbedders who throw chains, tarp and haul all kinds of crazy stuff.
My other favorite is local dry van. Actually anything local works for me.

 

I've seen blanket wrap mentioned before. What is it?

 

Started Cryo near 12 years ago and it's where I'll retire from in 3.
Great pay, benefits and never a customer to deal with, plus 25 nights a month at home w mama.
It could be better if I worked it in a southern tier state but then the pay would suffer.

2nd favorite was rock & roll trucking.
Many nights away from home, it's kind of a lifestyle but oh the tales I could tell...great fun but a younger man's gig.
