Best wishes, and congratulations on your success so far.

If you feel like sharing, what helped you decide to go with Roehl and with flatbedding? I am looking at Roehl also (of course), and interested in flatbedding specifically. To me, it seems like there may be a little more variety in the workday with flatbed -- driving, loading, unloading, tarping, strapping/chaining/securing loads, etc. One of the things that concerns me about driving, in general, is the limited opportunity for physical exercise. Flatbed seems to offer some opportunity for exercise. Plus, it appears that flatbed may pay a little better than van.

Take care.

 

I'm not sure if your question was to me or the op. I'll answer for me though, roehl was the highest paying starting out, I started in van and got bored with ONLY driving and sitting. Flatbed offered more physical work and more opportunity.

I get paid very well on mileage and once you add tarp pay you'll have a nice payday.

Tarping in the rain sucks, but you will lose weight flat bedding. My blood pressures down from being physically active almost every day other than just walking to the truck stop
