Going to Averitt Flat Bed div.

Read the literature they put in the truck stops.
This should give you a better idea of what to expect.

 

I have been there since they started the FB division. They put some effort into it, consulting with experienced FB drivers before they pulled the first load.
All the equipment is new and they don't haul junk freight. I see alot of no tarp stuff.
On multi stop- tarp loads they pay stop/tarp pay for each stop.
