We run jersey walls (hiway construction barricades) lumber, prefab building pieces (big ones) ect. We drive big boy trucks and run! PM me and I'll give you the down low. Maybe talk on the phone. Flatbed is cool but can be hard.
    Ahem....that's "low down".

    'Nuff said.

    CAXPT, Hey now, I did the 65 mph jobs at big companies. Rapid Freight of TX back in the 90s, FAE, even National Carriers. Got a pay check if thats what you want to call it even running 3600 miles a week. Finally I found what I had seen but couldn't find. An easy to work for company with different but cool loads, good equipment and much better pay. I hated getting my doors blown off by a truck doing the speed limit and the choice names they called me for holding up traffic. We work hard, it's not all sitting in the a/c but I love it. I mentioned the contracts because there is no laying over because 4 other company flatbeds got there 1st. I've read some of your posts, you are wise and I appriciate the "Ahem"!
