    Been to some steel places in MI that I was loaded faster then I checked in and pulled in. Others its the complete opposite! 5-6 hrs waiting for what takes 10 minutes to load.

    I hauled a reefer for a year. It wasn't that bad, except for sitting at Wal-Mart.

    Ah the flat bed. The lowest form of trailer. Not quite, Double Drop is the lowest trailers. RGN is next/ step deck, then normal trailers. Van drivers can't pull freight 16' wide, I can.
