    Interesting topic.

    Out of my class of 7 at CDL school in June, only 1 student was under 25, everyone else was between 38 and 68 years old.

    Great first post. Care to elaborate? Or maybe rephrase just a little?

    I would not recommend tanker.

    You ever carried a 40 ft 3 inch hose? Not saying it’s impossible or hard but if you want an easy job man handling hoses isn’t the easiest job.

    Go line haul drop and hook. Drive 200-350 miles switch trailers and head back.

    Or you pack off a 4in cement hose. You ain't moving that around with a bad back. Doing tank work isn't out of the question I just would never do dry bulk with a #### back

    I’m saying, I’m pulling at least 75 ft of hose on a regular basis. I try to use 2” but every once in a while I got to break out the big guns and go 3”.
