Good morning..unloaded and have my house back.....I WAS going to tool down the road as BR has not proved fertile countryside in the past...but I am with Murray now...home of low overhead and smaller mark ups over the more conventional carriers I be used to...so lets roll the dice...

Hmmm, a new expedited birth certificate around $160, that's more incentive to find it. But also, tempted to just order it, as I need it pronto 
Now where the hell is it?

Before you jump ship remember every form of trucking has its pros and cons. Pneumatic tankers don't slosh but you will be out in the elements dealing with hoses and standing while unloading. That and the loud blower noise Slo-Ride mentioned. Also tankers require finding and driving to a washout which usually involves waiting in line or even until the next day when they open.
Flatbed requires climbing, chaining and tarping. I've hauled pulp logs in the winter out of Northern Minnesota. I didn't care for climbing on top of frozen, slippery popple logs to string a cable and chain.
Grain hauling can involve long lines to unload at railheads and barge ports.
Car hauling also involves high climbing and dealing with the weather while loading and unloading. I wouldn't care to drop half the load one place and then drive to the next drop with 4 or 5 cars on the top rack but they do it.
Intermodal isn't bad if the company you drive for owns the chassis. Pool chassis are usually junk. Brakes out of adjustment, lighting problems, frozen brakes, bent wheels etc.
LTL linehaul pays well and you don't have to throw freight. But most large LTL companies run doubles and triples.
Have you ever considered expediting in a cargo van? Um, never mind.
are you getting the enhanced version for border crossings?>...Hmmm, a new expedited birth certificate around $160, that's more incentive to find it. But also, tempted to just order it, as I need it pronto

Only 3 hours to Baytown! If you are going to do it don't let the sun rise any higher in your rear view mirror

It's hard to take a decision like that, especially when the good companies are not taking more vehicles. Jumping from a lake into a well it won't save the day.
