So because it's the first trailer I've bought means that I'm new to the business? Try asking questions instead of assuming things. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to gain information that way. Just because I've leased trailers the whole time for the tax write-off means I don't know anything that's cool.
I worded it like that because...I know how ruthless employers can be when it comes to deciding to fire an employee. If I'm employed, it is because my employer is deciding to keep me employed. See? I don't take that for granted because I know how fast it can all come to an end.
I have ups and downs. Doing mostly East (not cool but expected) and too many short 350-450miles runs for my liking.Plus it's reefer only loads with all cons attached to reefer work.I get honest 65 CPM though.Honestly don't know what's better, 65 CPM and East with reefer or 55 CPM and TX with dry van ( my former employer called to ask how I am doing-)
