    What are some other companies besides the major one like TMC, Melton, or Maverick that take students. When I finish school really thinking about flatbed.

    Averitt has a flatbed division and those guys uniform policy is a little more relaxed and the pay per mile was better than van and I never met a flatbed driver that wasn't happy unlike the van division.

    Hey I'm not lol , but I couldn't stand driving for them either. I think the uniform makes them think the are better than anyone esp. the trainers. When I did drive for them I got into it with a couple of trainers.

    @Corn89

    I work for Paul trans. if you have any questions i will give you straight up no bs answers. Best of luck in your future. Plenty of small/mid size co's to drive for.

    Flatbed is the dark side of trucking. Those light side door slammers will never know true joy.
