Flatbed vs. Dryvan

Or in Northwestern PA in January! burrr!!!!

 

Flatbed is typically less miles a week than Dry van. Your sitting time is for loading, securing, tarping. You get paid extra by most company's for tarping.
Normally unload time is less for flatbed than dry van.
Many flatbed company's have drivers home 2+ weekends a month. Most try and get drivers home every weekend. By default, if this is the case miles will be less than dry van or refrigerated.

Dry van.
Loading and unloading times vary.
Many company's have enough extra trailers around that allot of the freight is drop and hook at larger customers.
Home time goes by company. Most like to have drivers out 2 weeks at a time or more. Unless you can find a local to regional position. These are becoming more and more available with company's like JB and the Pumpkin fleet. Those 2 have been changing there operations the last few years allot.
As stated, miles are normally higher than on a flat, but pay is lower. Some company's have stop pay of 10-20 for all stops accept first and last.

Refrigerated.
I find that I sat at shippers and receivers ALLOT more when pulling refrigerated freight. ALLOT more.
Many loads are grocery warehouses and meat plants. These are the slowest places on the planet. I go to some in a dry van, but not nearly as many as when I was ref.
Pay is normally (or use to be) higher than dry, but less than flatbed.

If you do not mind the work I think flat has the best money and home time of all 3.
