    Yea, when its up, it's up, and when it's down, it's down. Auto plants can be a pia. I'm actually thinking about reefer or tanker

    Try to get (tankers) with Trimac Transportation. They have a terminal in your area. Some of their OTR coast to coast drivers can make over $100K.
    Plenty of reefer outfits to choose from; dozens:
    NTB Trucking big account is Meijier.
    Tyson Foods
    Freymiller
    Schuster - their big account is Blue Bunny Ice Cream.
    Magnum Ltd.
    Holland Enterprises Inc.
    K&B Transportation
