    Werner flatbed how are the miles, pay, amount of time out ? I'm a recent student grad and Want to get into flatbedding but everyone I call says at least 6 months exp. So if I have to sacrifice and go with starter co I may as well try to do something I want. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Checked them all no go in FL.
    CYPRESS said they will take me with 6 months exp so that's probably where I will go once I get some experience.

    I talked to Werner and was told by a recruiter that they only pay .27/mile. I wouldn't do FB for that. McElroy, Boyd Bros, and TMC all hire students and pay much more. I worked for McElroy and they are a good company.

    Haven't yet I'll give them a call and see if their hiring in my area

    From what I've read Swift is worse than Werner but I'll look into them.

    Love the pic your signature. My Pit is one of the friendliest dogs you I'll ever meet. She has nothing but love for everyone even people she's never met before. I hate the way they are judged when it really comes down to how the owners raise them just like kids.

    I have tried all but McElroy I'll call them in te AM

    Thanks all for your suggestions !

    The Werner flatbed division is so small its crazy, for FL? They only run out of Pompono Beach. Flatbeds are used for dedicated accounts in FL only for Home Depot. They take advantage of it too. I'm a team on the HD account and they throw us down in Pompono about once a month for a full day running 2-3 loads of flatbed freight, with no tarp pay, or shag pay. Thats Werners way around paying and training actual flatbed drivers, much easier to send a message over qualcomm saying "Head to pompono for the day to help pull flatbed" and they dont accept no. -.-
