Teams, What trailer do you prefer?

LOL... The one we are hooked to

Seriously though, we leased through a company, and recently got our own authority... So only have experience with a refer... So far, we like it.

 

I don't have my own authority so my opinion may not carry a whole lot of weight, but I prefer reefer and lease with swift on a dedicated account pulling reefers. In theory reefer freight doesn't slow down that much, and from what I've seen it doesn't.

Reefer freight is pretty consistent, but I never have to do washouts I just pick up a loaded trailer and go to my stops, then return to the DC and swap out my mt for a loaded. So I don't know how much of pain washouts would be.

Flatbed hauling oversized loads are pretty profitable from what I've heard, it just seems like a lot of headache for me, but you get paid for the work you put into it.

 

Maybe post the same question in the 'experienced' area...

 

Ops,double click.Sorry

 

Dry van ; we did reefer but too much noise from cooling unit, can't sleep; and for few extra cents doesn't worth to watch temperature, fill up reefer fuel, time sensitive loads, picky clints;and most of reefer loads are out of CA,: i'm done with Ca,#####y regulation , heavy pulling mountains( blew 2 motors in Utah on I-15 and I+80) and expensive fuel.
