    Pay the same?

    Than take a van. Better sleep and no need to worry about the #### light turning yellow.

    Dry van, no noise until some loud old reffer pulls into next to you. Mostly normal daylight hours to load or unload. No having to worry about another motor having issues. Order of preference, dry van, hopper, flatbed, step deck.
     
    boneebone Thanks this.

    Dry Van, personally. Reefers pay better but you have things to worry about.

    My company runs both. I prefer the dryvan. If that reefer breaks down, everything is "emergency" basis

    I pull a van so you should definitely not pull a van. Do anything but dry van. Flatbed sounds, good, yeah, go try that. Or reefer.

    You're welcome.
     
    boneebone Thanks this.

    Whatever you can make more on doing less work, van, reefer, flatbed, low bed, dump, tanker, take your pick there’s something for everyone
