    I hauled 1.1D and B for several years. It can be a giant pain when dealing with someone else’s schedule. We hauled solo too.

    I quit to haul my own flatbed. Money is the same, but it’s less stressful.

    I have no numbers in the ding ding swinging contest, but I have hauled Cheerios and the like. Worst one yet was a 2 stop drop. 3 hours to load, 7 hours unload at first stop (half the truck mind you), and 6.5 second stop (other half of truck). Yay Lumpers. 16.5 hours load/unload time. 7 hours drive time. On time at every appointment as well. Never going to those facilities again. Thanks Lumpers.
