I'm proud to announce that I passed my cdl test with a trifecta today. Now I have to wait on a trainer again. I'm stuck between going flatbed or continue to do reefer. What you guys think? Why the average miles for flatbed drivers?

Good job!
the fact you are looking for a trainer answers my question.
My first trainee is an instructor now and his student trifecta'd today... He's keeping him for TNT. So that must not be you. -
Congrats, good job. go reefer
-
Flatbed has more fun. Plus, we get full sized trucks and don't sit around waiting (or get odd appointment times) nearly as much as reefer guys do.
Starting pay for flatbed is .39CPM, so the money isn't much different than reefer (assuming they're still .41CPM with the shoebox trucks) -
Flatbed is more work but also more money
-
Yeah, you only sit around to wait fur normal appt time. Show up at 2300, can't deliver till they open at 0800. It's all realative, not as many drop and hook as reefer

Most flatbed companies I know of is 1st come first serve....jomar68 Thanks this.

...and if there are 36 trucks that came first before you showed up? -
lol then u will be playing the waiting game. ..but It only been a couple times ive waited in a long line to get loaded...and most of the times its pipe yards
