<p>[QUOTE="Brandonpdx, post: 12115793, member: 12929"]a snap-over binder can be dangerous I am told. The ratcheting ones are safer.

Too many stipulations and strings attached for me and I don't want some dispatcher back-seat driving my truck for me.

I see you can make good money though if you have a truck and trailer paid for, are getting 100% of the line-haul, and are only paying $600-700 a month for the insurance. (Way better than hauling RVs one way). On the other hand, giving away 20% of the gross, being on the hook for almost $300 a week in fees, and the tougher MPG with pulling a trailer all the time, it really didn't look like I'd make <i>that</i> much more per week than some of the better weeks I've done hauling campers to make it worth the trouble. Plus he was expecting me to fix and maintain the trailer as if it were mine which sounded like something I didn't want to be liable for. Plus all the flatbed rigging to the tune of $700-800 bucks to get started. It was all enough me make me say "ehh"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
