I would recommend System Transport. They are flatbed but have three divisions: flatbed, reefer, and a specialty division. They are based out of Spokane, Wa, but they have yards all over the states. I got officially hired in in august and was upgraded to my own truck at the very end of September. They have a 1 week orientation that is completely paid for plus you get a check at the end of your orientation. You are out with a trainer for around 5weeks depending on how fast you learn and how confident you and your trainer are on your abilities. So far I have been very happy with this company and hear very few complaints. Hometime depends on where you live. I am from Corpus Christi, TX so I had trouble finding anyone to hire me being south of I-10, that being said I'm guaranteed to be home every other weekend if I choose and can stay out as long as I want. I am currently on the Texas regional fleet. Their pay is one of the best I could find. All this being said I spent two weeks researching where to go. If you have any questions feel free to email me and I'll try to answer them. Shane.schroth@gmail

Waggoners Trucking Co.Allenmichael27 Thanks this. -
My overall impression is that because a few drivers lost some freight from improperly secured loads some idiot in corporate decided they should install sideboards on the trailers. That, and with the number of new drivers that seem to be in training I'm under the impression that this is like the Swift of flat bedding.
For this reason I personally will never pull for Waggoners. In a typical week I figure I'm losing at least 10 hours dealing with those side boards and NEVER able to see my load or check the tension on my straps without moving a sideboard out of the way.Allenmichael27 and Chinatown Thank this. -
