o/o wanting to get into flat bedding

Are you going to lease on with a company?

 

Learning securement techniques is about the hardest part to learning to drag
around a skate.

If you have a friend who does it and would take you on a couple trips with you to
show how it's done would be the best way to learn.

Out of all the guys I've hired to drive for us I believe only one had flatbed experience.
All the others I took with me on a few runs, the first time I secured the load and
made em watch. Second time I made them do it with guidance, and the rest of
the times was all on their own unless they would get stuck or do something wrong
then and only then would I tell then what was wrong and how to do it right. After
that they were good to go.

 

Find a company that will lease you on that has a load securement class. When you go some place to load ask questions. Ask the fork lift driver how most 'bedders secure the load. Ask the people securing their load for pointers. Think about how your doing it. Is it safe? You will do fine.
