I saw one of them a few weeks ago. They got a messed up setup. The headache rack is on the trailer with all the equipment on the rack. So if you are loading and they have to use the whole deck what do you do take everything off the rack? How would you know what you would need to secure? Then what do you do with all the junk you didn't use???

Obviously not very long...

Covenant, US Xpress, Swift, & Werner at one time tried to break into the flatbed side on things. The only 2 that had any success were Swift & Werner.

Averritt will most likely fail at it as well.... You can't pull flatbed freight at 84 cpm very long without taking a drastic loss.
