    Personal choice. Do you like physical labor?------flatbed. If you don't care to be out in the elements securing, tarping, etc-----TCD. Wanna go to Canada Ay?----- Glass. I love the glass mugs out of which I consume my sodas on the weekends and the windows out of which I look so tyvm glass haulers. I enjoy chicken, beef, pork, etc and use many products hauled in freight boxes that make their way eventually to the stores in which I shop, so tyvm TCD. I like the challenge of battling the elements sometimes (its not always hot as the hinges of hell or cold as the north pole or windy enough to blow you off the top of your load wrapped up in the tarp your spreading) so my personal choice was and always will be...........FLATBED.

    Well said sarge!

    When it comes down to it, I'm glad there are guys who are willing to run flatbed and glass, cuz I sure ain't doing it lol. But I have all the respect for guys in those divisions, that can be rough stuff. I would've killed myself by now if I had done it. So I'm happy for TCD :)
