    I do not pull flats but I have seen them in crates and buckets strapped to catwalk and have also seen people mount toolbox to catwalk and put them in there.

    Tool boxes mounted behind gas tanks, tool boxes mounted under trailer. If trailer is a covered wagon I would keep everything on deck up front

    I always thought that an enclosed rack with doors are pretty nice. just google image a TMC truck and you'll see what I'm saying... those are pretty sharp and shiny too.

    I dont belive thats true because most company flatbed trucks are flat top/ midroof what ever you want to call them.

    No way I would go without an enclosed headache rack, I have so much stuff in there, if I didn't have one I would have to have some of it in my truck, no thanks.
