    Open deck has a tendency to screw your MPG's....I am sitting at 5.2 for the month myself, but it has been a HOT month, so my idle time is thru the roof. Good thing we don't get paid like Magnum's bonus system works, we'd be screwed.

    Like @Winnyf1 said, open deck covers the full spread of our type trailers....I pull flat, single drop and double drop trailers (along with the occasional van/rack load just to remind me of how much I have grown to dislike pulling a box behind me). Really, it is just semantics, like when tanker-yankers call you door slammers "freight haulers"...even though all drivers pull freight of one type or another.

    Gotcha...guess I worked around too many Shaffer drivers who couldn't take the joke when people would call their puffin logo a penguin.
