Flatbed advice

Shorter runs tend to pay fairly well. So companies like em. I think Howard is shooting you straight. And if the others are promising 3k or more I wouldn't believe them. Is that 2200 miles in 5 days or is it 7 days? If it's 5 days and then home, that's running fairly steady.

 

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen one in a while

 

2000/5 would be 400 a day. By the time you untarp unload go reload and retarp and drive 400 miles you'll be wore out.

 

For 200 extra miles I'd rather be home on the weekends. I doubt tmc does more than 2200 miles a week either. You'll be sitting most of the weekend in a truckstop spending instead of earning. Plus that close to the main office you get home and out pretty easy. I'd say they are your best bet. Imho

 

Do they pay any tarp pay?

 

Well that would be around 950 gross per week. Not too bad for starting pay. I honestly think you won't do any better starting out.
