    As stated by AT and others, I would start in vans. Get your name on the flatbed waiting list ASAP if that is what you want to do as it will take a while to get down the somewhat small list.

    Guys here's flatbed company that takes CDL graduates right out of school with no experience. They take you out for a road test and depending on who takes you out "trainer" they'll accept or deny you if accepted they will put you with a trainer for 3 weeks then afterwards you're on your own. Anyway I posted the link below.

    pgt recruiter, Phil says I am all set for Feb 13th, 2012...now it gets tough...PGT or Watkins and Shepard?

    Sure would help if I knew more...that's the hard part of being new to something...

    If you're thinking about home time I run through MI a lot and see a lot more PGT trucks there than Watkins & Shepard .

    Why do you need to pull a box before you pull a flatbed? I never drove a truck before and started out with flatbed and I love it.
