Swift Skater

if you mean flatbed and you are in gary ind. lift your head up and look to the sky to the plumes of smoke.

 

In case you did not see this thread, this will answer many of your questions. Surprised that you would ask this question after you already made your decision.

You can PM the OP of that thread. He is a DL now with Swift outta PHX, also somewhat of a recruitter. There are not that many flatbedders that post on here. There is one ex flatbedder that might see this and can help some. He is now O/O and hauling vans. I know from talking to some, they seem to work in what is called a triangle. Something like Gary to PHX and over to Greer and back to Gary.

 

they also haul out of larexo, tx over to the carolinas, up to indiana and back down to laredo.. the triangle.
ive read/heard they haul a lot of coils, truck chasis, utility poles, rebar, drywall... etc..

i give props to the skaters, swift or not.. as i just never found the excitement of chaining, being on duty for hours strapping, tarping in rain, snow, heat... all for $25 and $0.01mi extra.
give me the ol' dry van any day.. lol
