I would call a recruiter and ask about the intermodal flatbed they have in Chicago. I'm pretty sure they use the lightweight trucks for those but I'm guessing hometime would be better.

How available and possible is it to go flatbed right out of the gate? Meaning doing TNT time with a flatbedder. Little birdie told me that getting into flatbed as a new hire is increasingly difficult? -
If that happens just make sure they don't forget about you and keep you out with reefer for too long. Big company problems; if something isn't right and your getting strung along, your talking to the wrong people.
For hometime I'd probably look around the industrial areas for places that are hiring and see what kind of experience they are looking for. -
My next question is... when does the 1 year start... 1st day of training or first day of solo cdl driving...
Really do appreciate the help! -

PolishPrince Thanks this.

Threw tire chains in here in a rush to get them stowed somewhere. It didn't look like they had that much snow on them. -
This place waited till the loaders went home before telling me the load was ready. Tight place so there really wasn't room for both to be in there. It would have been nice to move that back a few inches so it would be possible to make uphill left turns, like stopping for fuel, without tearing stuff up on our "Reefer doing flatbed" trucks.
Close one.

Aparently you can't choose between new or used equipment when it's first issued/sold. They put together a pallet with a variable mix and that's what you get.
You can trade it in later, but not when you first get it.Bud A. Thanks this.
