    I drive tanker hauling milk. Easy Peasy.



    Only way I will do flatbed is for myself with my own truck and trailer.

    All that extra work for a few extra pennies is no way worth it to me

    I make 45 cpm with one year of experience.

    Yes tanker is a whole lot less work than flatbeding. More and more customers are doing their own unloading. I still work a load or 2 a week, usually just a hose or 2 and an air off.
    And the pay is awesome
