Flatbed instead of a SD ???

So after being here with LS for a few weeks I have started to realize that most the loads in my area that are paying very well are mainly for 48FL and above. Having this step is nice, and I've been able to find loads, but I am seriously thinking about switching over to a 48 flat and see how I do. It seems like I would be able to run a little closer to home and do well. The only down side is most loads want tarps, and after the last 2 tarp loads I've hauled, I have decided that I will leave the tarping to TMC, Decker, and Boyd Bro's

So what do you guys think??

 

Not so much choosing which ones to tarp as in being told I need 4' drops and the 10 crates are 7' tall LOL.....

And I will never slam doors again unless they are on a tarping system.

 

LS did not tell me anything about a trailer. I chose a SD because I like hauling machinery. I dont care for steel and the cheap rates associated with it. I've yet to see a coil over $2.50 a mile and as for the covered wagon, I have thought about it but I'd prefer to do more local OS stuff.

 

I seen that one, but with that front panel my MPG would go back into the 5's maybe even 4.5 !!!!

 

But I only got 12 chains......wait, that's 3 too many LOL
