2015 Best Flatbed Jobs

Yep, that's the one I'm going for...I think. I called and asked about the Colorado regional and it say's "Drywall, lumber, misc. building materials, rebar, steel, machinery, stone, landscaping brick, and dedicated customer freight."

I guess I'll found out at the interview if the dedicated is it's own thing or mixed in with the rest of the freight. The recruiter mentioned going to gypsum but said it was just one of many runs.

Thanks btw, I had never heard of System until I read your post.

 

Company rats called blue knights who make $50 for reporting you for "securement violations" like short strapping etc.

 

Your hauling more then just that out of Denver most of the Denver guys are home on the weekends and your pay is 39cpm but with other pay it avg out to 42 or 43cpm. I like system i plan to stay for a long time. If you don't get into Denver try the AZ fleet Or OTR a lot less tarp throwing on the OTR side

 

Good to know, variety is always nice to keep things interesting. 39cpm? EDIT: see next post

 

Oops, I went and looked at the documents again and it turns out I was looking at thing the wrong way and I just found more pages including the pay for the Colorado Regional division.

mileage brackets:
0-50=flat $50
51-150=69cpm min $75
151-350=55cpm min $100
351-550=50cpm
551-800=48cpm
801-9999=45cpm

tarp at loading=$20
tarp stops(says any so I guess that includes destination)=$15
stops(intermediate only)=$10

and so on with layover, hourly, over-dimension, etc.

 

that's right cause the Denver guys don't go that far out so that higher cpm is right I just found mine also. If you haul copper it's an extra 50 atleast for AZ.

 

Yeah they say mostly CO, UT, NM, WY with occasional loads to MT, AZ, SD, NE, KS, OK, TX. Fine by me, I was doing CO, WY, NE, KS, NM at my last job. I was actually starting to consider OTR for the money so no complaints about reaching out every now and again. Tarping is a bear but I'll get used to it. I was a no tarp princess for a while so I'll be making up for that lol.

Nice. No mention of copper here but there are some nice bonuses for OD. Man was I missing out. I regularly hauled of 60ft joists at my last job and that's an extra 11cpm with System. Man oh man I hope this works out. Most everyone seems to be happy working there, medium size company that seems to value employees, great pay.

 

Got the job with System Transport for Colorado regional. Ben(fleet manager i think) seems like a great guy and the same goes for my recruiter Brenna. I really think this is going to be a good place for me to settle in at for the long haul. I'll update as things progress. Flying out for orientation in Spokane, WA on Sunday.

 

Good job bro. It's a good place to settle

 

All of the loads out of gypsum ( which is most of your loads) are pre tarped and strapped. Correctly, not like the Lowe's loads. Most of the time you will be able to fold your tarps on top of the load and do it nice and clean. You will be on I70 a lot and will soon be chaining tires like a pro. You will be bumping your 14 a lot, they keep you busy.
