    Does anyone know any decent I-5 corridor flatbed outfits?

    I drive for a local company but their pay is not amazing and I'd like to get some OTR experiance, I dont have any OTR experiance so I might have to sign on as a student and if so thats ok, a lot of the work in my area is flatbed ag work and I need to get some flatbedding exp in and I'm just looking for a company to do that at.

    The problem I am having is most of the companies like Roehl, TMC, Maverick ect seem to have hiring areas that do not include California, and all the local outfits I have talked to want a year or two of experiance. just wondering if anyone knows a good place to get my foot in the door with flatbedding. I suppose there is Prime but I would prefer to stay on the west coast if I can, if not thats OK but I'd like to try at least.

    There is a company out of Yreka, Ca called Stidham Trucking that runs flatbeds. I used to load their trucks many years ago and they ran the I5 corridor. Google them to get their number.

    Fill out your profile, you get better eccomendations if people have a better idea of where you are.

    Next question do you want to go OTR, even I5 corridor will have you sleep in a truck.

    Try these guys...http://www.spi-ind.com/

    I think the flatbeds pay percentage and I know they have really great benefits. They also have hourly work available driving chip trucks and logging trucks.
