Flatbed

 

I feel like it could go either way very sharply depending on where you are and who you know and what connections you have. I know that running a 55 ton 3 axle can be really good money with the right connections but some of my buddies run flats and make more money. I feel like they work a lot harder where as I work smarter as in plan much better because of load availability.

 

Are you moving your own equipment?

if not, you’ll get a higher volume option for the flat

 

Who do you know n what do they have to move? If you’re coming in fresh with no contacts & just using loadboard freight- probably keep busier with a flat. Success is really what you make it: how good you are at making a pitch, how much you already know about what moves when and from who, how well funded you are and how fast you can catch up on the learning curve.

 

Then go with a flat.

 

Flatbed till you learn. Lowboy will eat your lunch with no experience.
