what are the best payin loads?van,flat,tanker?

[mike3fan]

Generally

1 Tanker
2 Flat bed/reefer
3 Dry van

ahem:

1) Oversize/Overweight/Specialized
2) Tanker
3) Flat bed/reefer
4) Dry van

But that is really oversimplifying things, a LTL dry van load can and will pay more then all others. A dry van TL going into certain areas will pay very well.

What about pulling Containers i hear they pay the best. A rag head in a 1979 mack cabover told me that the other day

Some containers pay fairly well, but generally containers are at the bottom of the pay scale. I don't see how some of these owner operators earn a living with the rates they are paid.

That's why they all drive 80 MPH.

Any load, in any type of a trailer that you can get DIRECTLY from the shipper, bypassing brokers.

What makes you think shippers have the best rates?
