Starting flatbed at 60 years old?

Anywhere close to Milwaukee?

 

Do you currently have a cdl or will you need one

 

66 here and still doing it. Granted, I look twice at the 8' drop tarp loads though,lol

 

And of course if you see anything wrong you pick up the cb and let him know...right? Most flat bedders
have radios, except the foreigners. Watch out for them I've seen them put 2 chains on a super coil. 45k+. Flatbedders also do something that is unheard of in this industry....we help each other out. Good luck to you. Jb

 

I know two guys in their 80s. They do short runs. Work about six to eight hours a day. Neither of them has thrown a tarp or a strap for that matter in 15 years. When they load in front of you, you help them. It also helps you to get going. Watching another man work while you sit in your truck if you can lend a hand is against the code.
