    Those are probably good choices for starter flatbed companies.

    This thread is over 2 years old. The OP is already an 'old timer.'

    Hello Mr Chinatown,
    At this point all options are open? I presently live in northern San Diego area right now. Maybe relocate later to a tax friendly state like Texas or Florida! Thanks for asking?

    I know Melton recently doubled their tarp pay and they have the most consistent high reviews in terms of driver satisfaction that I've seen online so far .

    Theyre one of the places I'm contemplating going once my first year is up in May. I wouldn't be super enthused about doing a ton of labor with flatbed but at least they pay well and treat their drivers like human beings and not truck numbers

    Apply at 10 co's and go with the one that picks you. You'll find out soon enough....a truck is a truck is a truck, a highway is a highway is a highway, a load is a load is a load, a dispatcher is a dispatcher is a dispatcher, a truck stop is a truck stop is a truck stop, a shipper is a shipper is a shipper, and on and on. Have fun out there ! ! :biggrin_25523::bootyshake:

    Allow me,

    I beg to differ with you sir in regards to companies. The rest of your comments I completely agree with. If one picks a junk OTR company to work for, and there are thousands of them, that's their own fault.
