Final Note

If your in a different area with a trailer, comment below to help others find the right trailer. But like i said in the beginning this is based in Spokane WA. Also this was on a first job offered after buying the trailer. But so far the Dry Van is the best investment for the hazmat jobs offered and the variety. I thought the Flatbed would be good but since it isn’t the low boys (Heavy haulers) they don’t pay the same as those.
