As I write this, I am on my way to Western Express in Nashville for orientation and securement training as a flatbed driver.
i was unable to get past my past with anybody else, including the one company who knew the truth about my CDL suspension and Western did. They currently only hire flatbed drivers in Michigan, so I will learn securement and a whole new lingo!
I'm a wee bit anxious about this, but it's probably a result of the unknown. I'm sure after 4 days of securement training and a week with a flatbed trainer, I'll be completely competent and knowledgable, perhaps even ####y.
Uh huh. Right.
But I have to make this work. I apparently have no other options! But hey. I made it through Navy boot camp and UDT training, so how bad can this be? Certainly not as bad as Hell Week...
Edit 12/20/15:
I originally started this thread when I was at Western Express, but I am no longer there. I know nothing about them anymore, so I probably can't answer any questions. -DD

In those conditions, it helps to put your straps on the floorboard on passenger side when not in use to thaw out, of course your tarps will be like trying to fold a piece of plywood, and when you roll them up they'll be about the size of an 11R24.5 tire, summer is here, good time to flatbed until it gets to hot, there is a few months that it's nice.
Good luck in your new adventure. -
