    I have a three axle load king lowboy but im in the process of rebuilding it right now...should be ready to go middle of january, we run are own construction business plus trucking so we keep pretty busy, the main thing I like about hybrid is being able to jump back and forth between the two

    Do you take people without any flat bed experience?

    Yes, we are happy to train people without open deck experience. The only catch is you have to be based out of our Dubuque terminal.

    You would have to drive to DBQ to begin your week. Work throughout the week, and drive home at the end of the week. In the beginning, you would not be allowed to take your truck home. A big part of our training is having you through our DBQ terminal as often as possible to see your loads and give instruction.

    Very funny...but to be honest, new hires begin their career in an "experienced" truck. You have to earn your way into a good truck.
