    When you deliver Flatbed loads there will be scantily clad women waiting feed you grapes. :yes2557:

    I'd imagine reefer would be good for your area, nice starting wage.

    I'm not 100% sure but i think there's a better chance of getting a fullsize truck if you go flatbed without having to sign a lease.

    yep,I meant reefer is a lightweight for sure unless you sign a lease and got a truck of your choice. or did that change with the truck shortage a month ago? Flatbed is a more fullsize trucks than lightweights. I myself would prefer a lightweight if i liked reefer but I'm shooting for flatbed in a few month.

    NE reefer division will get you about the same money as any other reefer driver at Prime, but you'll be spending 95% of your time up there. Here's the deal...most likely you'll be training on a reefer truck; it's the biggest division. If you decide you want to do something different it's very easy to change divisions after you upgrade to solo A-seat.
     
    jomar68 and DocGary Thank this.
