When I was flatbed I was told that there about 500 flatbed trucks. Don't know how many O/Os.

As far as I know that is temporary. Running freightliner chassis out of Gaffney up to michigan and then coming back down with a coil or something. But the message said it's just for a month and they only need 10 trucks. But there's always the Gaffney to high point run you could get on eventually.

Yep OTR is great. I actually filled in for a guy on the high point run for a couple of days, and it's a lot of work, fast paced, not my cup o tea. You are throwing 48 chains and binders per day. OTR is way more laid back, I'm on a 1600 mile run I haven't touched a piece of flatbed equipment in 3 days lol.
schmud0811 Thanks this. -
Nice. Love those long runs where its just drive and do your macro 32. And don't have to hear anything from the company for a few days.

I will be starting flatbed soon and the miles sound really good. I am going OTR and am actually hoping to be out between 3 and 5 weeks at the time so I can make some money. Then a nice 3 days off to visit grandkids. Really hoping to be able to work it out that way. Good luck to you all.

Lycan you will have no problem staying out 3 to 5 weeks. A guy I went through securement with stays out two weeks and goes home every other weekend. There are plenty of loads and miles for OTR flatbed. Have yet to meet anyone who is not getting miles OTR or dedicated. I'm loving the run I am on but definitely wouldn't mind going OTR.

Thanks. I am really looking forward to getting out there.
