    If you want beginner flatbed driver training -- all while feeling like you've probably joined up with the Marines -- check out TMC:

    Jobs and Careers at TMC Transportation

    Others here may disagree -- but I can't honestly recommend them, unless you are ex-military (Army, or Marines). You'll spend some real time polishing/cleaning your tractor. You'll also get your name put on the tractor doors (even though it's not really yours :rolleyes:).

    If you do make it through their CDL "boot camp".....you'll drive some macho-looking equipment, though.

    T -- tarping
    M - marine
    C - corps

    You don't have to leave Las Vegas to get a decent flatbed job.
    All those I listed run ads for Las Vegas drivers.

    Given the current CDL market -- to start out, you may have to simply take what you can get.

    TMC may not start hiring back in/near your area for quite some time.

    Also: the flatbed sector is not exactly "on fire" right now, anyway.

    I learned early on: don't "fall in love" with any one particular job or carrier.

    There are simply too many other opportunities out there (see other suggested carriers posted here).
