    depends on WHO you work for.

    i thought it was always:

    1) tanker

    2) flat bed

    3) reefer

    4) dry van

    i can't give you specifics, but as i said, "it depends on who you work for".

    there is NO guarantee one will pay MORE than another.


    you said "they argued".....?? that in of itself explains it RIGHT there....no one KNOWS FOR SURE.
