    I was leased on with my uncle hauling mud chemicals but know i am on my own. I tried using the rates that we used for hauling the mud chemicals but from what im hearing those rates are too high for flatbed work. So i need help to find rates that will help me stay competitive but not go broke. Any advice, websites or sharing or your rate charts would be awesome. I need to get working asap besides being bored i got bills to pay.

    Why did you buy a forklift without having work lined up for it?
