FLATBED COMPANIES THAT HIRE IN NORTHEAST

Then why don't you post these companies abd help out? But then again im sure you won't. Everyone has to start somewhere and those megas aren't that bad they are only bad once someone gets fired or does something then they complain.

 

I thought you would get it; it wasn't meant to throw you. I wrote that because it makes as much sense as your post. It doesn't answer the OP's question as to naming some companies for him. No offense toward you, but the OP just wants some company names.
Same with BoostedTeg's post; the OP probably couldn't care less about anyone's opinion of me; he just wants some company names.

 

OP,

Get in your vehicle drive around take company names off the doors of the flatbed companies you see. Talk to the drivers. Screw the inter-web crap.

Ya might find a lumber yard looking for a driver. Door slam it and sleep in your own bed at night.

 

Drive to your nearest truck stop and grab every free trucker paper/propaganda booklet you can find. Take them home and write down every single company you see in them looking for drivers. Nail that piece of paper to the wall where you will walk by it every day. Those are the outfits you don't want to work for.
If a company has turnover rate of 50 to 100% why would you even think about working there?
One of the secrets of being successful in anything is learning from your or even better someone else's mistakes.

 

We have a couple brand new contracts in the NE, specifically CT and a new one starting out of Philly Jan 1st. Both very regional and both home a few nights a week and often weekends.

However we require 3 years OTR and a minimum of 1 year flatbed experience for the Philly contract and at the very minimum 2 years flatbed including OD up to 14' wide for the CT contract.

I know this doesn't help the OP one bit as far as recommending a company but it does show that there are opportunities out there that do not involve mega training companies that you will never hear suggested when asking that question on here.

My recommendation, find a decent small-mid sized carrier, put in at least a year doing regional/OTR flatbed then the doors of better opportunities begin opening real fast. If the company has one of those full page glossy ads in every one of those little books of lies in the rack in the TV room at the truck stop, RUN, don't walk, run Forest run away from them.

 

You don't get it.

The good companies for the most part do not exist on the internet. You have to find them they are not looking for you.

More power to the guys that want to start out at the bottom. It leaves the doors open for those that have a little ambition and won't accept the mega company screw job.

 

that's right up my alley

 

I'd rather work for a 1099 outfit than one of the mega companies that don't even know who you are when you call in about something. If you're company asks for you're truck number once you call that's a great sign that they don't give a rats ### about you.

We are the flatbed industry. Take our advise, and above all network in person as much as possible.

If a driver seeks me out to talk and ask questions about work. I have and will put him in for higher consideration.

Beat the bushes the good companies don't advertise...
