    that's how folks who cat learn the system, won't learn the system, or don't know how to conduct Business, justify their shortcomings. They decide there has to be a secret club working against them.

    Lol, as I havesaid many times, your worst enemy stares back at you in the mirror.

    Soooooo guess I'm not switching over after all... Any Van guy that wants to switch over to flat has to come up with all the money for equipment up front because so many are switching over.. But the guys who are coming in off the street get the half down deal.. Smh that's crap...

    That doesn't sound right. But all you'll need is $2000. You could prob do without chains and binders at first. I've used mine about 6 or 7 times so far. And if you wanna really cheap out don't get any tarps yet either, some guys don't even carry em.

    Find a used head ache rack at a junk yard for 250 or so. I bought two brand new tarps from a guy that quit. Said he couldn't stay loaded, yet his tarps had never even been unrolled. Still had the rope on from the factory. I would let you have my older tarps pretty cheap. they've been patched a couple times, but still in good shape. Less than three years old. six chains and binders will get you going, don't need ten at first. Every time you are at Louisville go ask George if any one has used one's in the warehouse. then it's just a matter of straps and bungees.

    It's a raw deal but once you get the flat you'll make that back in less than two weeks easily. Maybe one with the right two loads. I'd say get it and be done with it. @CJndaTruck is living proof.

    It's the Good Ole Boys Club, that's just the membership dues, new guys only pay "half" up front, but the price us marked way up for them... wink wink
