    I looking to pick up some extra work for our 2 flatbed trucks. I was looking at Genpro to see what they are all about but doesn't mention anything about flatbeds in the non-perishable area. Also looking at other load boards but I don't know much about them. Trying to come up with a plan before I commit my time and money to anything. We have forklifts that attact to the trailers but I don't know if that is a resource or not. My truck is now sitting 3-4 days a week. I have taken out of town work welding and odd jobs doing what I can.

    Things I do know:
    searched in the forum here
    Things are slow in the winter and current condition of economy
    I understand people would not give away there work to help someone else we would like mostly short runs (10 miles to 650 miles) from Houston
    looking forward to the help and sarcasm

    Thanks

    ITS or Internet Truck Stop has been the best for me. Just did a search from Huston for 300 miles radius and had 121 flatbed loads for tomorrow and Friday. Of course, this was just a straight search and you not getting into weight, length, etc. They are pricey but try it for a month and see what you get.
     
    VARITHMS Thanks this.

    Thanks, I just caught the sticky at the top of the forum. I may need glasses.
