    I'm looking to book some miles. I'm not worried about home time. What division will earn more money and keep me on the road with lots of miles

    Knight reefer should pay more and mostly night driving and van would be more miles but not as much pay.

    Disclaimer for the OP is he can't be too picky right now.

    Probably a lot depends on what terminal you would work out of.

    My experience has always been reefer loads have more miles than dry loads. Meat from the center to the two coasts, 1200 - 1500 miles per load, and Produce from West to east 2500 +

    I was thinking the load and unload times would hurt the miles but more money

    If you're truly not worried about hometime, and want longer runs...reefer is the way to go. However, that comes with lonnnggg loading and unloading, less drop and hook, 3am appointment times, lumpers, trailer washouts, etc. If you're willing to accept these things, then you'll be a good fit.

    I am not recommending Knight, however. lol
