    They do haul scrap, and have similar trailers that you just described! Thanks, again!

    I have definitely been thinking about that. I have signed nothing yet. Just trying to do my research and making sure I make the right decision! Good advice, and much appreciated!

    This is not the time of the year to learn dump work. Freezing temperatures and dumps sometimes don't do well together. Either way I would lean toward tank work as it is clean and usually involves 'nicer' people to work with (both the shippers and receivers). If you pm me and I know who you are thinking of going with I might be able to offer more insight. Hope this helps.

    Thanks! Yes, I was leaning towards tanker anyway, as I enjoy it and for various reasons as you stated. I did shoot you a PM! Thanks, again!

    Scrap yards can be very hard on tires. Something to think about.

    I never saw any money in scrap hauls. They only get you from here to there. Sometimes there will 6 trucks ahead of you to load and 15 on the other end to dump.
