Anybody Drive Flatbed for Prime

You'll learn a lot more than driving reefer, and have more fun.

Steep learning curve, but with a good trainer, you'll be OK.

Check out the flatbed forum for tips.

Mon-fri style shippers, good physical, mental work.

Good luck.

 

They're lazy and weak, and didn't like making the bed as a kid.

Like I said, its a mental AND physical challenge, not suited to all.

 

Oh, but . . . rolling up your tarps in a 25 mph wind is a challenge, and I hear wet tarps when frozen can be fun too.

It separates those who enjoy work, from those who work for a living.

If I had more money than a bull can crap - I'd still do it for free. After 8 years holding a steering wheel, its the most fun I've had at work with my clothes on.

 

yah i can tell you frozen tarps suck, long as you learn a few tricks it aint too bad. been doing flat bed now for almost 2 years, and wond do anything else. its a freakkng blast

The trainer probably said,"I meant to do that."
