What does it mean to get a semi "flatbed ready"?

#### straight!


^^^^ Really? Hey mods, we gotta turn down this language filter, A little nuts!

 

It's really hard to do.

As I said flatbeding is a uppergraduate type of trucking.

You can ask around and if someone will hire you running flat... you have much to learn. Such as working strengths, breaking strengths, deck weights where it should be loaded what to belly load or not etc. You will I imagine love it. But it's a learning.

Your most important skill is that coffee standing on your cab floor. There are loads back there that will try to kill you.

 

Maverick, Melton, TMC, Mc Elroy, Boyd Brothers, all will hire new grads, securement school and driver trainer.
I never worked for any of them, I learned the hard way but they ire new grads. From what ive heard Boyd and McElroy are really good but that's second hand.

 

I've heard some Prime flatbed trainer say new flatbedders buy $3400 in gear for the truck, payroll/settlement deduction is typically used.

 

I recommend tmc and pgt Trucking. If you go with a drive van job first look into btc Trucking after 3 months.

 

Family member hired on to Boyd Brothers. They treated him well.

 

System transport out of Spokane trains as well.

 

Check out Maverick Transportation I hear their securement training is thorough. A driver of theirs posts a ton of YouTube videos. Search for Dale Clay. They love prior-service military. When I was in CDL school TMC had reputation as good training.
