Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

I pull a refer. I can haul 90% of what dry vans haul. Much more versatile. I can into dead areas you all won't because I can reload temp control products in a lot of those areas. I would say about 35% of my loads are dry.

 

Yes I follow the markets that's just dirt cheap I don't care where it comes from.

 

I pull reefer now but am throwing the idea of picking up a used flat and give that a go. Just don't have the balls to do so yet lol.

 

Yeah, you book that load, dh that 3000 miles and just before you arrive, the load cancels.

 

And the fact you're almost always 80k.

 

While reefer gives you more versatility in what you haul, I have hauled reefer for the last year and will NEVER do it as an O/O-L/O, at least the way the reefer rates/industry is right now. The insignificant difference of rates between dry van/reefer doesn't justify the added expense and BS associated with it, at least with broker/spot market freight.
