I've been driving dry van for 7 years and have been wanting to make the move to flatbed only to find that TFI has bought out so many of the flatbed companies that I've come across.
So far:
They're all going to the same style trucks.
- Tennessee steel haulers
- Boyd Brothers
- EW Wylie
- Central Oregon Truck Co.
- SPD per @mitrucker
Are any of these guys okay to drive for? Any consensus about them all being owned by the same conglomerate?
Does TFI Own Flatbed?

You might like flatbed -- but without all that tarping:
IKE Transportation: Regional Flatbed Company
NO NORTHEAST!

All of those TFI companies listed will send you to the NE and Chicago. Even COTC and SPD.
SPD will even put you in NYC with a 53' trailer. Plus Los Angeles multi-stops. California and East coast big time.Last edited: Aug 6, 2025 at 7:20 PM
needanewjerboutwest and lual Thank this. -
Don't forget to add Lonestar, Wylie and Boyd to the list. All of the former Daseke companies are now part of TFI (or as I call them W-TFI).
needanewjerboutwest, Bean Jr. and lual Thank this. -
Old_n_gray, D.Tibbitt, FullMetalJacket and 2 others Thank this.

Kyle I never complained. I did TMX multi stops and Genie lifts on 53' trailers to Queens for SPD for 7 years. The whole time it was illegal to do that. Yes, it's part of the job. I never made waves about it. But the OP is dreaming if he thinks he won't see all 48 states with TFI
needanewjerboutwest and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
needanewjerboutwest and Walk Among Us Thank this.
