The only real downfall I've seen with them was the driver cameras. Everyone else I've talked to or read on has been happy with them. For a starter the pay is good, good benefits, and dealing with that camera for a while will remind me not to make habits of doing dumb ####

Flatbeding is definitely a "Man's Job" a vet told me that opted to steer clear of it (lol)
Heights, physical labor, wind and extreme temperatures on top of driving is something that's not appealing to many. It's perfect for me who's only reservation with trucking was giving up my training and physical lifestyle.
Everyone is different but this is for me. -
Melton has 8 ft drops and I believe 3 of them. How much do they pay for tarping? How much do they pay for securing strapping/chaining? You have to secure before you tarp. How much you get paid for securing/tarping divided by how long you think it will take will give you an idea if its worth putting your life on the line for falling off a load or putting a bungie through your face and oh the multiple stops are wonderful for all company flatbedders ( no matter what company you work for that matter) ... Just something to think about.
I wouldn't do anything else though. lolTonitos Thanks this. -

I've been doing this for years and I have been very fortunate and lucky that i have not been seriously hurt so far. I always move at the speed that is the safest for the situation. I constantly meet top notch veteran flatbeders that have been hurt or know someone who has been hurt by falling or having to drive to a hospital to get a bungie removed from their face. I always listen and learn and strive to be as safe as possible. Never have too much pride to ask questions, it can save the public and yourself and your career from harm.
