    Go flatbed.

    Ps I didn't read whole thread so I don't actually know what the question is.

    I wouldn't let that stop me from trying. There are companies out here that are hiring drivers with less experience than supposedly required. Like loves

    I flirt with the gals at different restaurants. And after I make them laugh, I ask them for their employee discounts. Spending $10 instead of $18 makes my pocket feel better.

    I would have never known I could get discounted food if I didn't try.
    So I'm telling you to do the same. Put forth an effort don't just settle for less!!!!!

    USX....not bad to start, as long as you get decent miles. I did, when I worked there. I did tri state regional out here in Ohio.

    Western.... I think it's a bit higher on their flatbed side; again....only if you want to go that route. If you are set on vans/boxes..... go USX. With your final two, that's my 2 cents; neither are a bad choice, I just wouldn't do Western but for flats, personally!

    Wishing you the best; following ya, man!
