    Does anyone know if the Gary terminal is hiring student drivers atm? I live nearby and actually had very close friends of the family that use to work there and i was interested in them, cause from what u remember what i heard from them about ccx, they are a good company to work for...well if anyone know anything let me know thanks..btw going to TDI south bend tomorrow to see if its where im getting my CDL or not...so it will be about a month before im ready to start any training with any company.

    IB03 There is more money in Flat bedding but that is limited, If you go reefer then you can haul almost any kind of freight in a van, Tarping and such isn't for me, put it in secure it in and down the road I want to go. Take Care. TD.

    I have pulled vans, tankers, doubles and flats. Flats is my favorite. Good workout. Helps you keep fit. Not just bumping docks, swinging doors and getting as big as a barn. Look around at truckers. Most flatbedders are in pretty good shape. If you see a guy waddling into the truck stop odds are he is pulling a box.

    You learn flat bed securement and you can pull any box. You start in a box and do that a few years and decide to skate. Guess what? You just went back in time to being a trainee ridding along with a trainer. Sure flats have down sides, but so do boxes. Want to work out your mind and body at the same time. Flats does that. You have to think how to place and secure as well as man handle the equipment.

    Flat does pay more, because it is more physical and demanding on your brain and body.
    Another thing. Flatbedders tend to stick together more and watch out for each other, plus help each other. Most van drivers you won't see that.

    Oh and by the way I called CCX in Gary, Indiana and asked them if they were hiring/prehiring students, and the lady that answered the phone said they are and to just fill out an app via their website, just in case anyone else was wondering.
