    I was wondering if someone could tell me if there are any known nicknames/trucker lingo kind of thing specifically for a Flatbed Driver?

    *Not sure on many flatbed companies but I know Malone is one of them*

    Thanks in advance for anyone's input!

    If you don't mind my asking, what specifically is a stepdeck or a bullrack? New at all this, just trying to do some research as I'm in advertising and have a bunch of trucking companies as clients now.

    Well, a bull rack you smell them before you see them..:biggrin_2559: They haul livestock and a step deck is a funny looking flatbed that has a step up on the board.

    The only knickname that I can think of specifically for the drivers of flat beds is "you no-backing son-of-a-gun". Of course, that doesn't include all of them.
