    I have been curious about driving flatbed and tankers. If I start driving I want to go everywhere and wonder if flatbed and tankers do a lot of OTR.
    Seems like shorter regional runs but not sure.
    Thanks

    Local, regional and OTR work with tanks. Typically with us, most of the OTR suff is system freight, where you reload and bounce around a bit before coming home. Though we do have some long dedicated stuff, just depends on what the customer wants.

    The shortest stuff we've got at swift flatbed is 600 miles, most is 1300+, with some coast to coast 3000+ as well.
