    I am getting ready to drop my flat for a while and hook up to a box. We have a customer that has more work than we can handle.

    Does it pay more than the flat work?

    It does. The guys on that particular run made between $7,500 and $11,000 last week.
    I'm dropping this trailer for a little while.

    I'm in the same boat. Last winter was all flat, this winter I touched the Conestoga once in a month and a half. Found out my pinch muscles got weak when I was winding the ratchets.

    Your funeral. This is discouraging, as I always thought flatbed was the only thing left for an O/O to get into. Any box sucks, end of transmission.

    "Show me the money". I've never cared much as to what type of wagon I pulled, only the money I could make pulling it. Sure, there are certain types I like more than others because they are more likely to keep me on narrow hilly roads and off-pavement at job sites, and other trailers I don't really care for because they are more interstate-oriented in their routes...but if the money is there, I'll pull it.

    Where will you be running? That way we can send out the alert to Swift drivers to be kind to you and help you back in every night.
