    hey everyone, been driving for 5 years now currently running reefer team and have been thinking about swapping to flatbed. My end goal is to get a few years of training, then swap O/O and lease onto someone like Mercer or just run my own authority. In the meantime I need to find a company that’s either a local home daily around the Bowling Green, Ky area, or a regional where I can be home throughout the week or on weekends. Is that even possible, or are my standards too high? Thanks in advance!

    Sure, it starts innocent enough; a little flatbread here, a little flatbread there. Then, the next thing you know, you wake up in a white Volvo pulling a reefer, wearing Adidas track pants and flipflops and there are two other guys driving your truck. o_O

    ;)

    Is that before or after you start cursing in Russian and scrolling through deals on Salvage titled Lexuses?

    I like the one "flatbread" you get at Subway...especially if you're trying to count calories.
