    AMA is a lease op. Just FYI. Read through this thread, youll find some good info. Be prepared to work... I spent over 2 hours out in the blazing sun in over 90 degrees securing the load I got now. Flatbed is dangerous WORK. It takes devotion to stay in flatbed. You cant just get to a customer n go to bed. Usually it doesnt take that long to load/unload. Youre personally responsible for that load being loaded and secured properly. You have to take the inititive to ensure the load cant possibly come off. Some loads require a lot of thought to accomplish this. Its tough work, but well worth it to me.

    working is fun.....what am i saying must b the sun spent the better part of my day at my01 i hate going to tubing shippers they all are slow one thing they need are pickers someone to get all of the product and put it in one area for the loader to get to instead of driving all over the facility snd come back w/one bundle

    had these at my last job saved alot of time
