    I understand that there's different freight. Dry van, flatbed, and also reefer and tanker. What seems to provide the best year round freight. Dry van I would think just because of the large variety of product

    As a company driver? Ive never not been busy on the reefer side. People always need food and if there isn't a backhaul you can always bring back dryvan freight ( though it might be tough to scale legal ) :p

    Yes as a company driver. I was thinking of reefer due to the food and also because its dual purpose as a dry van

    What tends to be the best year round just as a general rule

    It is more added stress starting out. With the reefer unit on the front the weights require a bit more thinking :p
