Is it new or old but well maintained. Break downs effect you money big time. 3. Look at the type of freight they haul. Some Refer freight pays better then others, also depends on the season and the part of the country. Better paying Refer Companies 1. They haul their own freight 2. They have a number of facilities around the country 3. They pay for everything you do, plus full benefits, paid time off, vacation and etc. 4. They have late model trucks and trailers. Trucks with converters, APU, refrigerator, and etc. Refer Trailers with the latest quiet and smart technology Refer units. 5. No slip seating 6. A least 65% Drop/hook 7.
