I dont want to seem mean but you are asking other flatbedders for some of there accounts. You wont get any anwsers except for cheap junk no one wants to haul, i.e. Nucor in Norfolk. The truth is there is no freight moving right now. Everything is slow, and until things pick up you will continue to have issues. No one wants to pay to a truck an honest rate. Contrary to what they think in Washington, as far as I am concerned I dont see any improvement in the economy since the recession. CHEAP RATES, NO FREIGHT!!!! Until something changes this is what you have to deal with!!
My fellow flatbedders

Haha you told the "load getter" you have the connection with the TTR flatbed dudes! We're a brotherhood and we'll share it all!
Tell him to get off his decrepit rear end and start knocking on some doors for you guys.
Too many trucks already. Maybe he should turn some back in to the finance company. -
Doc holiday thanks for your reply I'm very green on this site so if I ask the same question or questions back to bck please forgive me. I just thought maybe I was doing something wrong and that's why I wasn't getting any responses.

Lots of places shipping all the heavy tarped loads of lumber you could want.

i ran for another company that hauled everything and anything you could put on a flatbed, to the company i work for now that wont haul pivots or pipe and farm implements. i told him about omaha reloads being one of two places, norfolk and ft dodge and wichitas reloads being medicine lodge and mcpherson for pipe, he didnt seem to keen on the pipe. so i dont know, i get the feeling i choose wrong when i choose this company. you can make some decent cash but if your out of the terminal i am, lowes dc loads and ######## is in your future.

Hauling tose center pivots looks like a pain. Reason I say that is it looks like it would take forever to load and unload.
How do they usually go? -
depends if was bening laid in place, then your driving thru the fields as they throw it off, or your dropping it all in one spot for them to install later.
MJ1657 Thanks this. -
not asking for accounts, thats what i told the #######, anything available would be wrapped up. i was talking more in terms of a "lowes dc" or a "mentards dc" type thing, big yards that move alot of stuff. like wichita as far as i know doesnt have anything commerical rooling out like flat steel or coils or any other mass commodities. this company is chicken #### when it comes from to haul certian things, "we haul it" then how come i never see any of our guys moving it... who knows.....

So Camel, you say you can make good money, then where are you going to after you leave Wichita and Omaha? If your deading back to St. Joe for another DC load, well that can't be good. Unless your milage, then it's all the better. But that full tarp crap the DC is pulling up there is shxx if you ask me. You know where I'm going, straight for the sheetrock load, no doubt about it with this outfit, and you know what I'm making.
camels76 Thanks this. -
yea thier only milage, not enough on the deadhead, but paid non the less. this outfits ###### a lot of accounts up and lost them, tamko being one of them
