{"replyTo":"","text":"I have pulled a '53 stepdeck for years and have made a very good living with it. For what I do, it gives me the option of doing OD, which I do not do a lot, but I do some. tarping is a pain in the behind and takes time. Conestogas are much easier, quicker. In the end it just boils down to your situation.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I used to pull heavy and OD loads but didnt like the idea of not having that option with a conestoga.  But now I'd reconsider with all the limitations you have on OD loads: no running after dark, times you cant run thru a city: rules about weather. I know there are guys out there that make tall coin and dont mess with permit loads.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Rates are strong across the board on all  freight types for a while but you have to have a strategy for staying profitable in the slow times as well. If you think you can then it’s a solid idea. Building materials aren’t usually very profitable so I’d stay away from logs maybe loll","replyToPid":0}

147103 发表于 2021-05-05 21:19:13 I have been pulling RGN 30 plus years. I enjoy the challenge.  Right now my rates are very strong!. But the kind of job I do isn't for everyone. Lots of headaches. I have a friend pulling a low profile 53ft step. Who is doing very well with it.
