    So far it sounds like you made a great choice when you switched companies.

    Semi-unrelated question maybe one of you know the answer to. It could be totally off base here, but from what I see rolling down down the road it seems like percentage wise reefer companies are much more likely to go with mid-roof tractors then dry van, who (whom?, I can never keep that straight) seem more likely to go with condos. Is there a reason for this having to do with the reefer unit, or is it just a question of cost and how that sector approaches it?

    Oh they have condos but Be aware that condos are much harder to heat and cool than a mid roof .
    My mid roof has nice cabinets , built in fridge and a very nice interior.
    I'm a nyc out and back driver so I'm happy with what I have .

    Midroofs tend to hold the wind better, in my experience anyways.

    I know a few guys that love to run NYC, they enjoy the challenge and extra pay! For me I go to Chicago all the time and that's enough of an adventure for me!
