This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's van trailer work, and it is bullshit. Reefers and van and grocery hauling is exactly what you said. Flatdeck, wide load, grain hauling, fertilizer, etc, there's very little to none of this. Farmers want their seed and fertilizer delivered before spring, and what they are selling delivered sometime this winter. Pays better too. Dealerships just want their cars delivered undamaged, if they're a day late, no one cares. Days off are mandated, although you may not be home for them, true enough. I lived in a truck for 4 years and found myself able to write out a check for my house.
