Need help getting into flatbed

Gotta find a trainer company.. Rochester is a little out of the 'hiring area' for Mav and TMC.. It's bad timing too.. Things are on the shrink lately.

Look for a local company and keep pestering the daylights out of 'em..

Some of the Van companies have a flat divisions too. Check that out... Pay your dues, keep your nose clean etc.. Best of luck!

 

swift has flatbed division

 

Western Express hires newbies for flatbed an plenty of work your way check there page. They hired me an i have two felonys

 

Roehl looking for flatbed drivers

 

That really sucks that the plow company wrote you up for denting your bumper, and they used to not issue at fault for swerving to miss deer, now they say hit the deer. You could check with Buchanan Hauling and Rigging, you will have to plead your case and covince them you are worth taking a chance on and maybe even start out pulling van until they get an opening in securement training. you could also check with BigBadBill on this forum, his company has securement training I'm just not sure if he has a company truck available for you or is just looking for owner/operators right now.

 

I leave next week for orientation next week for flatbed, my buddy worked their for seven. doing flatbed he loved it, what he did tell me is they treat their van drivers like #### an they dont get much respect, he said he would not recommed dryvan to anybody. far as flatbed i here they are a good starter company with plenty of mile pays not great but its averages to about whats expected from a new driver...

 

I cheated getting into flatbed by knowing the right person. I will tell you there is a big difference between the big flatbed companies and the ones like I am with. I see Mav and TMC ect going 62-65 miles an hour even swift (Ha). If you ever get a chance to hook up with a smaller company that has contracts in the more "construction" fields jump on it. We run jersey walls (hiway construction barricades) lumber, prefab building pieces (big ones) ect. We drive big boy trucks and run! PM me and I'll give you the down low. Maybe talk on the phone. Flatbed is cool but can be hard.
