Does anyone know if there’s a wiki for trade specific loads? Aka fueled, flatbed, OTR, etc.
I’ve seen a lot of those terms thrown around, but I’m not sure what they actually are, pros and cons, or how to get jobs related to those traits.
can someone explain them?
Description of trade specific loads.

I don't know what a wiki is. Here is a link to different sectors of the trucking business:

Flatbed is flatbed. OTR is over the road

If you get your CDL. You can pull any trailer you want. If you like working in the rain and snow and outside and like the challenge on working flatbed. You can do that, flatbed pays more then pulling a ban trailer or refridgeratd trailer.
If someone wants to be home everyday, pulling a fuel tanker is good. They mostly run at night I believe.Frank Speak Thanks this. -

You can read the flatbed, tanker, reefer, experienced drivers section of this website. Unfortunately I don't think anyone on the internet is willing to spend a few years, for free, distilling it down to something readable in a few minutes. Even if they did they are going to value certain things like working in the weather diffeently than someone else that values making an extra 3 cents per mile, for example. The info you want is available but YOU will need to read and digest the accumulated info and then decide what is important to you.
