    They generally pull one or the other. There are only 1-2 van guys that would be competent to pull open deck. The open deck guys like the higher pay and what they haul and don't really like pulling vans.

    Not to sound rude, but for us guys that have been doing open deck for awhile, having to pull a van is kinda like a "what did I do to be punished feeling..."
    I got a buddy right now that is pulling a van trl. He used to pull H.H. untill last year. He hates it, but it's a job for now with him

    Ya I don't get it. Open deck isn't anything hard or overly sophisticated but it takes some know how. I guess when you venture onto the rest of this sight and read what most of the guys are posting it kind of all makes sense.
