Local courier place with a center in my town, they seem to be mainly in the Southeast, was wondering if anyone had any intel on them, how much money you can make (with a extended promaster) particularly in the winter season, what the schedule is like, etc...anything you could tell me would be...

Wondering from anyone who has expierence with the two if i would have access to more freight with a 2 pallet reefer freight area vs a regular van with area for 3 pallets with sleeper folded up? Currently working for an owner with the 3 pallet set up and have only got loads that required the bed...
