    well its real work theres alot more involved than just driving thats for sure I have been working here for 3months now and I like it, it can be a dirty job and pain in the ### at times but I do enjoy it. I live in seattle and they do not let you take the truck home so tacomma is probly where you'd park for home time. look into it sum more but if your gonna go flatbed I would go with system its the largest flatbed outfit out there Ill try to check back in if ya have any more ?s

    8 weeks I think they start you at 30 cpm until your probation is over. for training its a flat rate of 500 a week. I wouldn't go with werner..just my 2 cents

    they got mostly internationals and kenworths, but they got some freightshakers and volvos mixed in. I do believe all trailers are western

    sweet cause although paper logs arent that bad id rather do the qc cause it would be hard to mess up lol. I thought they had peterbilt 379's cause on the website that's all it shows?
