{"text":"My only method for seeing the best life:money balance is to look what small legacy fleets and sole owners are doing. Almost all of them are running hoppers, and the few that aren't run low deck for construction.\n\nAll they do is pass through silos and drop pits all day and go home.. Close to the benefits of oversized but with less OTR vibe; same with logging\n\nThese are mostly veteran drivers or relatives of some, so it's not a bad way to navigate the industry ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}
