    Found a job ad from Koch looking for someone in "my area" (because it's usually generic lol) to haul ATV's and golf carts.
    Dedicated route, specialized double deck trailers, up to $70k a year, 2100-2300 miles a week, $30 a stop, $50/unload.

    Anyone have pros and cons to this?
    I currently haul mainly reefer stuff cross country. Less than a year experience OTR but been to a lot of the major cities.
    Just concerned how the trailers handle differently?
    I know it depends on the company but is there usually a back haul? Or do you head back empty?
    Not sure if they pay by the mile or hourly.

    I looked into when I got laid off aa coyuole years ago. It was mainly out and back empty. They were behind and needing drivers at that time though.

    Kansas you are right way to much work and call me chicken but trusting those ramps on ice is not my cup of tea.
