Flatbed
IH Truck Guy, W923 and 1mm3406e Thank this. -
I feel like it could go either way very sharply depending on where you are and who you know and what connections you have. I know that running a 55 ton 3 axle can be really good money with the right connections but some of my buddies run flats and make more money. I feel like they work a lot harder where as I work smarter as in plan much better because of load availability.

Who do you know n what do they have to move? If you’re coming in fresh with no contacts & just using loadboard freight- probably keep busier with a flat. Success is really what you make it: how good you are at making a pitch, how much you already know about what moves when and from who, how well funded you are and how fast you can catch up on the learning curve. -
