    I am supposed to start with a a Flatbed company in a few weeks. I have been driving Dry Van for three months now. I am an average built guy, about 5'10" around 190#.

    With that being said, what are some tips I can use when learning this trade?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you can, have a forklift operator lift your tarps on top of the load rather than trying to carry/pull them up yourself. It's not always available/possible though.
