I say Choose you trailer choose your faith. Yes Flatbedding is hard work then you have to drive. Have fun, it can be, wish I was back out there listening to those 18 wheels singing.

onions are tough my friend i did one load and i said nope no more i feel for u.
as for the driving u get used to it trust me there is some nights after a pita load the last thing i wanna do is 700 miles i just want shower and sleep but over time you will figure out ur body's limits and what ur capable of. just do what u feel is comfortable. im not sure how much logging experience u have but if u ever need help making something work or whatever shoot me a pm. it's kinda my specialty. according to most of the guys i work with that call me with questions on how to make something look goodkeepontrucking81 Thanks this. -
make sure u always weigh onion loads they tend to be not always but tend to be heavier then what shipper says. the one onion load i did was 900 bags out of denver shipper and broker said 45k and some change turned out it was 51k and some change i was like 83k somethingkeepontrucking81 Thanks this.
