Let me fix this not all tanker trucks are condos only the freightliners even then some are midroofs and 98% of the Peter's are midroofs with hood caps the mid west regional are international mid roofs

I'm fairly certain that the extra 5cpm for lightweights is only in the reefer division.

Flatbed trucks are all condos.

Tanker trucks are all condos with the exception of some lease driver's on dedicated accounts.

Reefer trucks are condo or lightweight. You get an extra 5cpm in a lightweight. You also get another extra 5cpm if you run East coast regional I believe.

You can be company as a tanker driver. One other thing that must be considered cause it affected me, your home! I was told I couldn’t go tanker cause I live in Orlando, Fl. They mostly run a triangle from Savanna, GA to Newark, NJ to Decatur, IL if I remember correctly. But you will get longer runs too. If I remember correctly IC24k ran some loads out west too. But yeah, make sure you’re clear about your home not being a disqualifier.

Also, if you run in a lightweight, it’s an extra .05 cents per mile. So that .49 cent now becomes .54 cents. Huge motivation in my decision to go that route. Too bad it didn’t work out for me. Good luck!

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Reefer:

A refrigerated trailer.
