Flatbed Companies (West Coast)

Flatbed? West coast?
Try these guys...Sierra Pacific Industries - Jobs Team Member

Decent pay, decent equipment, and great benefits. Mostly regional runs. Lots of I-5.

 

Nice trucks. Cameras in them but they seem to pay pretty well. Almost went to work for them

 

System is not a bad company for someone just getting into the flatbed side of trucking. They do have a fairly descent training program, not A+, but there up there.
Disregard, everyone's comments about Combined Transport out of Central Point, Oregon. They are a descent company. I drive in the heavy haul division, but they are currently in the process of phasing out their FAK flatbed division. It will either be glass division, heavy haul division, multi axle wind division, or reefer.
Those that are already in the FAK will stay there for now, but they aren't going to be hiring anymore for straight flatbed.
I am also surprised that Melton said they don't hire in Washington, when their in Washington all the time.

 

Sounds like a decent place
Medical, Dental, Vision – Paid 100% by COTC

• Short-Term Disability – Paid 100% by COTC

• Passenger Insurance – Paid 100% by COTC

• Paid Weekly on all Actual, Approved Dispatch Miles, including Deadhead Miles

• $.45 to $.52 CPM (Base + Performance + Accessorial)

Edit: nevermind I just seen you tried them

 

They also have a good series of videos on YouTube on how to tarp. I like how they do it.

 

Don't wait. Start your applications now.

@Chinatown might add suggestions to compare to System Transport.

Is the focus of your plan to flatbed/open deck? Where is your home base? Are you willing to go OTR or do you need frequent home time?

 

System is a good starting company. Can’t go wrong there.

 

I gave him a few names in Post #2. All those hire new cdl grads.
