    I hear ya. I heard from a few drivers that we lost some contracts to a new Company composed of ex Kiswani people. It also apparently had something to do with all those crashed up Volvos by the shop.

    They were offering a $150 xtra as an incentive to come in as a 6th day for this weekend here at our ramp. But I think Is just freight thats been backed up.

    Flatbed is awesome, it will take you about 6 months to a year to feel “comfortable “. Don’t know that I would’ve stayed at Kiswani (Their Equipment sucks)...among other reasons, but good luck!
