    I'm still in my first year of driving and switched to a flatbed company from a crappy reefer company and after 2 weeks I have new respect for you guys who have been doing this for years. Harder than I thought but still having fun.

    Being a wannabe, and being on this forum for a while, I found such huge respect for you guys. I know everything in my house was delivered somewhere along the line by you drivers, but the sacrifices you make to make my life a life, is truly unbelievable. You guys should, at the VERY least, be on a postage stamp.
    I thank you all.

    What's wrong with reefer , if refrigerated freight is down , you can haul dry to. Ahahahah. (That was a joke by the way)
    you could train monkeys to unload in some of these warehouse , but yet it still take a few guys 5 hrs . Hmmmm
     
    rank and SHC Thank this.

    It gets even worse if you get to play with straps and chains in the cold/snow. When your nice straps turn into cardboard and your tarps don't move like they should...THEN things get fun!! Oh and lifts of lumber slide around like nothing in the snow!!
