    More money weekly with reefer or flatbed. Well, that's my experience and also with many other drivers.

    Flatbed seems like added hassle, is the pay worth that added annoyance?

    @TripleSix does flatbed.
    I also did flatbed and really liked it, especially to remote construction sites.. To me it wasn't a hassle. Reefer also wasn't a hassle either even though many drivers post they hate it.
     
    TripleSix Thanks this.

    If Crete doesn't hire you, then try Shaffer and Hunt and the others. You'd probably like Hunt.

    I’d go to the “favorites” forum and start writing down every company you see, then, look at their websites. There are a whole lot more out there who allow multiple pets than just the Crete family. And, they won’t take a penny from every mile you run; just a deposit.

    The biggest negative I see with Crete (dry van) is they’re all spring ride trailers. With our failing infrastructure, spring ride will beat the crap out of you and your animals.
