    Seriously, a very nice and informative thread. Good work, Brother. You should write a book.

    What happened was we get people who get confused and I'm sure they won't find this thread, but people don't know what counts for what as far as experience goes and they really don't know more or less new people not the regulars who have been around for a while, but they don't know about the different kinds of freight trucks refer/dry van and don't really know what they do. Some people think Martin Brower is the same thing as CR England and that's certainly not the case.

    I'm not qualified to speak about tanks for flat beds or dumps never did those, but I am qualified to talk about the dry van/refer world, we have are own special equipment and a lot of people might benefit learning what the different trucks do and what jobs they perform.

    Surprisingly, I know one that lives in Cuyahoga Falls that may be interested. She's a manager for Acme.

    The Mods should move this to "Questions From New Drivers" forum. Would get a lot more reads in that area.

    Lots of good information @Mike2633

    Mike is bored in his state. His employer should give him more work.

    I'm sure they could find something they need someone to drive the van on Saturday sometime.
