| I enjoyed flatbed work when I did it. I hauled shingles though so it was easy work.

| I'm considering TMC as my first company. I have been reading threads and they seem to be a respected company (for the most part). I just feel pulled toward flatbed. I like the idea of staying physical no matter the weather. |

 ? I have been in some really tight spots with flatbed, but love every minute of it. don't want to pull a van or reefer, maybe a tanker later on in life, but for now, flatbedding is what I love.  |

| Before I went to flatbedding I asked about bumping docks, early or late pick-up/deliveries, staying on the hardball (from the guys I know who went from construction to flats), and it was like "Oh, it's easy if you don't mind tarping and you load/drop between 7am-5pm". Heh, You bump docks and tight ones too, 5 am drops...yep, I have had to drop loads where I would never take a low-side. You pull a flat, expect the unexpected.

| I think the unexpected is the best part. I love construction sites. Nothing like off-roading in a big rig.

| A guy hiring on with us said he wanted to tarp for the excercise...I told him if he wants to work out, tarp every load whether it needs a tarp or not. Then untarp it and retarp it at ever 10-hour break. |

| Okay what I meant is you "usually" don't have to 90 around a long nose Pete at the wharehouse like you do with a van. There are few places like that with a flat. Most of a time with the docks your talking about you don't have to worry about you front-end. |
