    Of those you listed I'd probably go with Maverick flatbed.
    I'd defininately check out Earl Henderson Trucking.
    Calex Logistics
    Magnum Ltd.
    Waggoners Trucking Co.
    System Transport
    Universal Truckload - one new CDL grad from PA just hired there last week. Haul military loads on flatbed. May require you to apply for TWIC; you can ask.

    Submit a few more applications.

    @Chinatown you seriously need to get paid a lot of money (double what you make now) and drive a company truck around to schools and recruit as a driver. I can't believe recruiters haven't tried that tactic.
     
    dennisroc and Chinatown Thank this.

    Not me, even though I can easily pass a DOT physical.
    My years of hard work paid off; no workee anymore. The hardest work I do now is put my socks on and lift my coffee cup.

    Thank You but I don't think flatbed is for me. I was told by Melton that I had to be able to lift 110 lbs over my head which was easy when I was 18 but now I doubt I could press 90.

    youre going to learn not to believe everything recruiters say。unless they drove for the company they dont know anymore then you do。i wouldnt count on2200 miles a week。before going with any company please do your homework。recruiter will say anything youwanna hear if thats what it takes to get you onboard。
