    just saying it has better rates than vans , it's not a good idea to never have more trucks than loads lol

    this is a different kind of low , there are not many loads in areas that used to have lots of them , tell me i'm wrong but i'm positive the trade war has something to do with it

    You really think him saying that here is going to make a difference and everyone is going to stampede to the great money in flatbed? Lol. It's common knowledge flatbed rates on average pay better.
