    Based on where you live, I am assuming that pulling a van for Veriha is a possibility? One of my longterm rules is that you don't make as much with a van as you do on other types of trailers. Some types of work pay more than others. The key to success is to figure out what everyyone else is doing and then do something else.
     
  4. ya but they always try to get me to pull a reefer i just tell them its not gonna happen

    You said something about refers.Im guessing they are a pain.If so why?Should I try and stay away from it?I also hear that"specializing"is a good idea for more dough.To do that,I guess you need to work for a company that does specialty work or take the risk of getting your own rig set up for something like that.That sounds a bit more risky.I asked before how long do you drive until you are on your own usually? Thanks
     
  8. reefers are just more of a hassle waiting for meat plants to unload you paying for lumpers listening to it hummmmmm all night long just more than i am willing to deal with i guess i just like as little crap as possible

    sounds like Id be the same way.So you do the"drop and hook" I keep hearing about?I dont think Id have much patience for finding and paying lumpers either.I would like to jus get my load where its goin,then split.
     
  10. nah i drop and hook once in a while but mostly live unloads and load most places are pretty good about it
