CRST Malone L/P from the beginning

Don't expect much from the securement training. I don't know about birmingham but at eldridge we got the very basics. I strongly recommend looking at the flatbed forums here and talking to other flatbedders when you can at the lunch counter or at the shippers securement area. You will learn a lot that way.

 

Oh, and on the crst load board you will find a lot of $2+ per mile loads. There are also a lot of crap loads there from midwest flat, don't waste your time on those. Also keep in mind the rates on the load board are BEFORE crst takes their 25%. Also is there is no fsc listed on the load board with the rate then you do not get a fsc for that load.

 

honestly, no. I could be though. I'm usually around $750. But I'm not running hard and am still learning. When I was a company driver it took me about 3 months to start making good money. I'm expecting the same here. Keep in mind I don't have to make big money right off the bat I have financial security at home. I make enough to pay my costs, live on the road during the week, and set some aside in savings. After a year of being home 4 days a month the freedom of being able to spend more time with the family is more important to me right now than making as much $ as possible.
