    They charge you to attend a tie down class? They used to pay you $50 a day if you attended.

    There are several of those in the fb division, unless something has changed you will be fine. When schmud comes back to this thread he can give more details on the equipment I'm sure.

    Steve - wait till you do a glass load if you think that was fun!
     
    scottied67 Thanks this.

    This is for van o/o's that want to come over to fb division. Not your typical person just coming in.

    I am glad to read your Post. I have been out of Trucking due my wife having a stroke. With only 1 year of Trucking behind me and a couple of years out of trucking, Swift made me the best offer to return and get back in on Flatbed. With all the "Stories" about Swift it was great to read what you had to say.

    After a load of roofing tile to Albuquerque then wall-board to Waco, TX we picked up a light pole headed to upstate New York.

    After t-calling the light pole to Gary, IN we delivered 2 coils to Laredo followed by 10 Catepillar bobcats going to Sanford, NC. Nice things about the bobcats is they were pre-loaded AND strapped down. Despite being 10,000 lbs lighter than the 2 coils we got about the same fuel mileage (6.5) pulling the bobcats. Obviously not at all aerodymanic!
