One advantage to pulling reefers is there's lots of night driving when the truck stops are full. Easy to find parking during daylight hours and sleep then.
That was my routine and worked well if I did careful trip planning.
Ok I quit, but I’ll be back…. Maybe

For just one example; pulled a load of tomatoes from Florida to California, then next load was also a different type of tomato from California & back to Florida.
Lots of apple loads from Washington State to various places all along the East Coast.
I really like that type of trucking.austinmike and Chi Town Steers Thank this. -

Darn it, I ran out of popcorn! Gotta get some more, I have a strong feeling that there will be some more epic stories.
I’m doing mostly regional loads out of Dallas (Texas is a no income tax state, not that it really matters to me), I’m home every weekend (I’m thinking about changing that to every other weekend for a while to boost my income), I rarely drive more than 2k miles a week, which is fine with me because I’m on salary ($1400/week gross, $1150 net). I drive a nice new truck, and my company treats me like they want to keep me, and keep me happy. Much more boring than your stories!austinmike, D.Tibbitt, hope not dumb twucker and 2 others Thank this.
