My brother has been driving close to thirty years now. He started on dump trucks and then went to a flatbed hauling Aluminum rolls from northern NY to Ga. and then granite curbing back.He then went to work for a "farmer"(read commodities trader)hauling beans or fertilizer all over the Northeast and Eastern Canada,now he pulls a tanker with soybean oil for the same guy.
