    Can someone help me. I'm looking to join someones flatbed division. I have been driving dry vans. My issue is that I want something with a pet policy and good home time. If I don't find anything I'll be going to Boyd Brothers. My only issue with Melton is the Home time and my only issue with BB is the pet policy lol. I have a wife and 4 kids so home time is kind of important. Also I have 8 months of experience.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    He's located in Greenville NC. Mobil does kind of strip that out, doesn't it? :biggrin_25525:

    Not sure about these, but call and ask:

    Cypress Truck Lines

    Have you looked around your area where flatbeds deliver or load? I dunno...maybe within a 50 mile radius? Everyone will say they can get you home...ask them how.

    Hey, Thanks for the fast feedback. I'm looking into all of them. I checked Mcelroy they're pretty decent as well just dont pay for tarp and no pets. Still sounds like a good company though. I won't make my decision until March 2

    I have, most say that I'm too far east of their hiring range. I'm still looking around though.

    Um unless there are two prides. They only operate in western 13. And they are dry/reefer.
