Looking for Flat Floor grain trailers

I work a full time 144 hour Firefighter job on a 48/72 schedule. I own, dispatch, repair, search for new business, take care of accounts receivable, payable, and payroll. I am a one man show and we run 48 states. Oh wait, On the days I am off from the Fire Dept, I slip into the trucks to give my drivers time off. Sir, please dont ever come at me with that something for nothing mentality. I understand what he was talking about, however I was unable to reply due to being busy on the road delivering loads instead of sitting at the Petro telling stories and giving bad advice. For those of you that replied, thank you. I have talked with several of you and will be getting back with you. Rant Over

I simply tried to communicate that there are many ways to solve problems. If my thoughts bothered you , my apologies, but if you think you are the only person struggling your wrong. However your response, well I'll be nice and just tell you that I won't bother you with my silly solutions again. Good luck. I hope you never need ideas again. Art Pfluger

Art Pfluger" I didnt say anything about your idea or solution. The thing that set me off was the "something for nothing" mentality. I probably went a little far with my rant and for that I will apologize. While I appreciate and understand your solution, I dont believe it would be the best option for me at this time. As you and everyone else knows, the DOT are hell on wheels when they pick up a harvest route. "Back in the day" you could easily operate with homegrown solutions, Its just a little different now. This is just my opinion mind you. but i had something specific in mind when I posted this. Thanks for the input and ideas.
