Van to Flatbed

Melton isnt small
Maverick and Melton are governed

Good luck finding a non governed company.

Try lonestar llc or ATS. They provide a path beyond normal open deck.

68mph companies that come to mind are KEIM (super singles on every axle, #### nice equipment) and BTC.

Obligatory look in your area as well. Mom and pop types of companies. Google maps can aide in this.

 

If you're no longer a rookie, don't look at companies that hire rookies. That's a step in the wrong direction for an experienced driver.

"But Six, I would need training...."

You need a quick lesson in securement and common sense, not another ride along in a trainer's truck. @Chewy352, can you link him to your tie down page?

 

Lone Star Transportation - Ft. Worth
Paul Transportation - Tulsa,OK
Britton Transport - wife can ride/Tripac APU
Good luck with ungoverned trucks; they're a trial lawyers dream come true.

 

Want ungoverned. Buy your own trk. Lol
You drive someone elses trk. Then their playground and rules

 

The securement manual, ttr, and a little common sense is all you need.

 

You are in Mineola, TX. ACME Truck has a terminal in Kilgore. Flatbed for the oil industry. It's all owner operators, but owners may need to hire a driver for one of their trucks. Pay is a percentage of revenue to the truck. Trucks are usually ungoverned. Currently on paper logs, but by mid year getting on e-logs to comply with the new regulation.

 

If you want to pull typical step deck freight maverick is not the place for you. They have step decks to pull 9' tall glass. There trucks also don't fit your "non-politicaly correct" standard. I think.

That being said I found hauling glass to be enjoyable. Your in a good spot too because Texas has multiple glass plants.
