    We all went to school to read and write in english, no big deal. That's not a specialized skill.

    I already went to school to get my CDL, all I asked was to get some tips on flatbedding.

    Click ‘forums’, then ‘Flatbed’, and start looking around.

    I drove around for 6 months contemplating flatbed, looking at other drivers loads.

    I’d approach them on truck stops, ask questions on the CB, look at You Tube videos.

    LS had a day securement class that cemented my embedded knowledge, and I always look for advice from others.

    Tarp it's a four letter word. Go get a job hauling lumber with a B train or Maxi. You'll want coveralls.

    Thank you. That's all I asked. You've hit the nail in the coffin, so to speak.
