    You got it in your blood. I know me too. Can't stand being in one place all the time. You need to do the pro's and cons on refers and flatbeds. Right now we have a bad economy refers are running good. People don't go out to eat as much. Mom is cooking more. When the money goes down, people use food for comfort. Although flatbed pays better, your going to get less miles. And winter is coming up. Do you want to tarp, chain, and strap in the cold?
