Anybody Drive Flatbed for Prime

Yes,

great driving.........

 

This is the risk you assume when you make a man drive a purple truck.

 

I like tarping when I'm not tarping. When I am tarping, I am a very unpleasant person.

 

Been driving flatbed for about 7 months. While doing Texas regional I drive around 24 to 2500 miles. If I want more I tell the dm and average 3k. You will earn your pay. You will be dirty, tired, hot, cold, sweaty and some times passed off. Rolling straps and fighting chains or tarps in cold and wind. Tarp juice getting all over you. Getting stuck in the mud at job sites because the foreman is a moron. Multi drop tapped loads, re powers oh my.

Flatbedding is a great job even with all the problems. Save for oil work, I would not want to do anything else. Give it a try and if you don't feel good about it, there's always reefer side.

 

Yes I would. More satisfaction

 

My answer based as it is by my experience is yes.

 

Just my opinion, based on MY experience, your mileage may vary. I would rather drive a school bus for the mentally challenged than ever pull another flat bed. That #### is just too much like work. If I wanted to work as hard as a flatbed hauler, I would get a better paying construction job and be home every night.
