    Steve join the crowd....We all mess up and usually under a van load. I moved a mirror, didn't scratch break or damage it and I still got charged with an accident.

    Flatbed might be more work, but from my limited experience the work is worth it for the bull crap you put up with pulling a van.

    Whenever I decide to go back to driving it will be flatbed for sure

    Yes, there can be because we are a smaller division. You can always train as a van student and then later with some experience transfer into flatbed with classes and some time with a mentor.
