    Average mile and pay will differ, as less experience drivers will start at a lower pay rate, than a driver with more years under their belt, but? For me, my average miles per run, has been 1200 to 1500' per load, the load I'm picking up now is 1836

    What about variety of loads? Just wondering about odd stuff/machinery or is it 99.9% building materials and coils?

    Whatever fits on the flatbed. But you will do lots of coils, lumber, steel. we do Vans, ACs, uhaul stuff, random machines. As i said, whatever fits up there we take it

    Melton is OK except for the driver facing cameras.
    Here's some more flatbed if interested:

    PI&I Motor Express
    Pride Transport
    Halvor Lines
    Keim TS-terminal in Tennessee
    Transport National-terminal in Tennessee
    Decker Truck Line

    Freymiller is a good reefer company.

    I just got off the phone with Halvor Lines. They start new drivers after training at 36 CPM with no tarp pay. The lady was really nice but that seems pretty low for Flatbed with no tarp pay. Or am I wrong?
