Hazmat vs Lowboy

For freight availability - flatbed, tank / hazmat pay a bit better but also have more expenses, when it comes to lowboy oh boy...that's some deep waters.
5 axles set up, 6, 7 and 8 that are the most common and the money varies, the more axles the more per mile but the expenses go up with them as well. Adding a jeep, booster o stinger is another topic for another day. I own a 2 axle commercial style rgn and is currently park, flatbed is currently doing better since is all legal freight and less deadhead usually.

 

Probably just comes down to what you like. Both are unique corners of trucking.

 

That is like asking what is better, ribeye steak or chocolate cake ? They are 2 completely different sides of trucking. And all of the answers to the questions depend on what it is you want to do. Forget about the money for a second and focus on what would make u happy. The money will never be worth it in this industry if u are completely miserable. There is b.s to put up with on all sides. Pick the one that you want so when u get b.s thrown your way it is tolerable to deal with and move on.

 

I doubt there would be as much freight in the low boy side as tanker.
