    Yes, yes, I know. Flat bet, drop-deck, oversized/overweight
    Pays better but a new driver is not qualified to pull that so please refrain the flame.
     
    Ladi-Jai Thanks this.

    It depends. It's like asking what's the best food for me to eat. You need to really know what kind of driving, how often you need to be home, which companies are in your area, how much money you need to make, etc.

    South Caroline is a big state. It's a long way from Charleston to Columbia. Can you be more precise?

    I deliver a few dollars general stores and some of them can be rough getting in to so I will second this. The newer ones don't seem to be too bad (that's obviously not all of them, just the ones I deliver), they seem to buy buying a lil more property now and making the parking lots at least half accessable.
