i'm 24 and I live in az. i'm ashamed to say that my track record for staying with a company is horrible. the longest I've been able to stay with one place before getting fed up was 10 months. i'm sick of this job hopping looking for a decent company. i'm a flatbedder so i'm looking for a flatbed company that runs western states. I don't mind running Midwest but east coast is out of the question (ok, maybe one in a while I can sacrifice). I have 30 something odd months of driving experience, 2 years of that is flatbed. the rest is misc other bullcrap. I've worked for Roehl (that's where my 2 years flatbed comes from) so they are out. I attended melton truck lines orientation and they are f**ked, they have cameras in their trucks. i'm not sure what options there are for flatbed that would keep me closer to home. I need to be closer to home because of my fathers health problems. if it wasn't for that i'd be more than willing to do east coast runs. what companies are out there that have decent home time, decent equipment and decent pay?
Any decent flatbed companies that hire for western region flatbed with 2-3 years exp

Not all of our trucks have cameras. You wouldnt have stayed with melton anyways because of your no east policy.
Maybe try system. They are a west coast-ish company. They do go east, but maybe they have regions or something they could keep you in.aztrucker89 Thanks this. -
melton isn't a bad company, they pay well and the miles are there but they issued everybody in our orientation class trucks with cameras. I don't mind it if it's facing forward but I hated it looking at me, I felt invaded. the other thing I didn't like was that annoying deal that buzzed when you went towards the white or yellow line. it got annoying going through construction zones every 15 minutes. I hit the button to turn it off but got a #### critical event reporting warning on the QUALCOMM if I did it more that twice. I did like the Laredo terminal where you could pay the Mexicans to tarp your load for you. I appreciate the info. i'll have to look into system. tell me, what's your average length of haul with melton?
-
Yes, System Transport does have Western Regional and a terminal in Phoenix. Also APU's.
-
do you know what size their tarps are and how their equipment is.
-
-
Explain the lane departure deal please.
-
It's a camera facing forward that growls at you if you start getting to close to the lines. Right side line, growl comes from right side speaker. Left side line, left side speaker.

aztrucker89-- Have you looked at Central Oregon Truck Co? Most of their drivers work the western region.
