1 year 3 months experience in dry van, reefer and tanker under my belt. Considering flatbed but If I make the switch I would like to avoid the bottom feeder mega companies out there and find a good paying company that will train an experienced guy where I can get trained and make decent money from the start. I but my ### for whoever I work for so I’m not trying to job hop. Located in eastern PA about an hour from Harrisburg , Allentown, reading and Scranton/Wilkes barre and I’m 2 hours from Philly. Any suggestions would be great thanks

www.daseke.com probably has what you want.
Aamcotrans and Jordysmash Thank this. -
Thanks for the reply man I follow you a lot on here. Always very helpful. I have my eye on them but it seems btc and Boyd want someone with 3 months “flatbed” experience so I was hesitant to apply. On top of that when I looked at their individual websites it was hard for me to compare which has better pay and benefits. I need good health benefits

PI&I Motor Express is Teamsters, so has good health insurance.
Don't know how good the company is.
Jordysmash Thanks this. -
How close are you to Brookfield, OH - think you have to live within 150 or 125 miles of a terminal. There are two terminals in Ohio.

This company is also Teamsters.
I'm not a big fan of unions; tried it one time, but truthfully, you can't find better health insurance plan.
cjkbuckeye and Jordysmash Thank this. -
I’m over 200 miles from Pittsburgh I’m going to apply to Boyd and btc and see where it goes from there. Saw pgt and eastern freightways. Going to look at pi&i as well. Is it possible to make 75k doing flatbed?
-
Probably be a struggle to make $75K, but not impossible.
If you're a military veteran, can get some supplemental health insurance through www.usaa.com

Easy to make $75K + doing line haul with companies like Old Dominion, Estes Express, R&L Carriers.Last edited: Jun 22, 2019
