Flatbed Age Requirement

I see a lot of flatbed companies (TMC, PGT, Maverick, etc) require you to be 23 years or older. Any reason for that? Insurance maybe? Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

I hear ya. Im pre-hired with Roehl, but flatbeding with them doesnt come into Florida very often. So I figured i'd put in a fews years then try to get with their Flatbed division. I plan on relocating to a better region for whatever company i work for or plan on working for.

 

How do you like working for Watkins & Shepard? I haven't applied for them yet, I got some advice to get as many pre-hires I could. No matter who I go with I know not to burn any bridges in case I need to cross them later.

 

Thats good, I'm looking for a company that will allow me to stay out 2-3 months at a time. I would love to make 3,000 miles per week. Although I know I have to pay my dues as everyone else has.

 

I understand most guys have families, but for me, I love being out on the road. I believe thats why Covenant was trying to recruit me so bad, because i want to stay out long and they would want me to stay out so long. I turned them down for certain reasons though. I just love driving, I bought my car in February of this year and from then to now I've put 23,XXX miles on it. so 23,XXX miles in six months or so in a 4-wheeler is a lot I suppose, since I never left the state. I just love driving.
