I haul trees on occasion. The place in Illinois that I pull out of wants it on 55 degrees and start/stop. They have a strict no continuous run policy. Pays great and it’s one pick( hr to load) one drop.( crew of 6 guys, 45min) 20mins at the beacon when I’m done and the broker pays the washout.

I forgot one thing. If you are crossing state lines, make sure they give you a Certified Nurseymen certificate or a copy of one. DOT will ask to see it if they pull you around back.
NavigatorWife, bzinger and Omega1 Thank this. -
If it’s on racks then it’s easy. If it’s cribbing then it sucks.

I had a 5 stopper 3 years ago.
Picked trees up in Troutdale area.
Made 5 stops ending in Wisconsin.
Each consignee is responsible for the dirt and dunnage on their order. And must take trash from their order out of trailer.
It was a good ride.
I ran continuous at 45° I think.NavigatorWife and bzinger Thank this.
