    The past couple weeks on here, everyone seems to be jumping to flatbed. Why?

    Ear protection, Ladder(s), beveled lumber for the coil bunks (hardwood always) or regular (square) lumber with the HD Bunks, Oversize banners and flags, pads for the coils, tarps sizes for steel 4ft drop and lumber 8ft drop but most importantly, you'll need this to start:

    To figure out what you need to do for different types of cargo that you may not encounter frequently, so you'll have an idea of what you need to do per regulations.

    On our board if you have a step right now, you'll probably need a pup trailer to put the money in.
