Thank you all for your reply, being the week end I will not receive anymore info till Mon 18th. I am sure they do not offer any benefits because when I asked the owner said that he had been tying to track the ins. guy down with no luck and that they planned to have ins in the future. The only thing I figure is that if I make enough $, I could buy my own ins. The only problem is I am apprehensive about what I will actually make due to it being a private owned company and various loads. But at the same time I have read posts about the flatbeds being a great way to make good money if you are willing to work. I am not jumping in to anything immediately and appreciate all the help from all. Just FYI- I am also looking into USA truck ,.was accepted and then postponed due to DAC record of discharge from Werner (during orientation) for high bp and previous renal failure that had been ok'd for release to work from DR. It seems that USA is a good c/o to start with. Any how , sign off for know. Again , Thanks

 

Just to update, the particular job that this post was about was for 1y otr exp. I only have 3 mo. I knew this beforehand but the owner of this co who called me didn't care. He was just a contractor for a bigger co whom I talked to today. They said it must be at least 1 yr. Thanks again for everyone's input.
