I don't know that one will be better or worse than the other. If I had to choose, then I would probably say flats would take the hardest hit. The main reason is that so many rely on construction and hard goods. Those are two of the largest segments of flatbeds. Those two segments are the first to get hit during a slow down. It also would depend on the time of year. Flats seem to slow more in winter. If a slow down occurred in the summer months, then it may not have as great an impact. Lately, I have noticed some good paying van freight. Part of that could be due to the time of year. Retailers need freight up until Christmas. There is also more mail during this time and the Post Office contracts more mail runs out. This takes some capacity out of the market which raises prices. During any slow down the entire industry will suffer.

It may be tough to find a company that will allow ferrets. In some states it is illegal to have ferrets as pets so maybe you will have to find out which states allow ferrets as pets and attempt to find a company that will not run the states where they are illegal to own.
