W/S Flatbed Division

Yay Troy!

 

is there a good amount of flatbed freight coming out of NC i start next week

 

Java Joe how much are your roughly making a week? How many miles do you see in a week?

 

We don't typically hit the east coast anymore, I haven't even been to NC since I went flatbed, lol.. but that doesn't totally mean they couldn't get in and out of there.

When I am running hard, I can easily see 3000+ miles/week, but I choose to relax every once in a while

 

i saw one of our flat bedders in conover, nc a few days ago...only seen a few of them there before.

I saw 1 loaded heading north on 85 a couple weeks ago i n the morning, same evening saw 1 empty heading south. both volvo's, but i didn't see the truck number, so i don't know if it was the same one or 2 diffrent ones

 

Sounds good, but how much are you getting a mile? Do they also do heavy hauling?

 

sorry for the double post.

 

Pay for flatbedders (like van drivers) varies depending on time with company, but the pay rate is the same (other than certain bonuses).

Solo drivers start at a quarter per mile and go up from there. Again, that's the same for van or flatbed.

 

I'm signed up to join flatbed.. waiting for available truck, apparently, but.. now that DickW has retired, who's teaching the 3-day flatbed course? anyone know?
