    Ok, I take back what I said, you are getting shafted.

    My advice is go poke around the nearest Lowes or Home Depot flatbed DC, and find out who is pulling for them. Up here Central Oregon pulls a lot of the flatbed work from the DC, and their drivers seem to be happy, and they are home often.

    That is a joke!!! I would take home on average 1000 per week at TMC when I was there. Maverick is another to look at! Leave there ASAP, go get a good paying job with good benefits for the family!

    Old,outlaw,behind the times,1099,low paying,back woods,Deep South company.
    been there done that!
    There paying big bucks in Texas right now with benefits for any flat bedder to
    run supplies to the oilfields. You will make almost twice as much money.

    I never done the flat bed,but I'm certain you should
    be making more than the van and refer drivers.
