Flatbed or Tanker?

Thanks Russtrucker, I will definitely look into this Company!!

 

Thanks Chinatown, I really appreciate your sound advice to many wanna-be's in reading these forums. For me, I was concerned about starting out in Tanker's and I really like what I read about Superior Carriers. I was intrested in Quality Carriers out of Tampa as well, but they want one year of experience; I will keep researching and will decide on which way to go and then just do it!! From what I gather,Flatbedding or Tanker's the way to go. Again, Thank-you for your attention and may you have the greatest year ever!!

 

I travel alot down I-71 South to Cincy with my job and just yesterday I noticed alot of Flatbedding going on!! I've read your threads about Melton and I really like what I read. I really don't mind physical labor and I think Melton has a facility in Northeast Ohio for training. Is that where I would go for training?? Thanks so much for responding and have a great New Year!!

 

I know, it's really a tough decision, deciding what will really work for me. I think with a Haz Mat, TWIC, and a Passport card would open up even more opportunities for both flats and tanker's. Thanks for your solid advice and be safe and have the best year ever!!

 

It's o.k. to be partial. Have you both decided to try O/O at some point? My girlfriend I and are trying to decide what will be the best gig after a couple years of driving to go the O/O route; she says you drive and I will pick the loads for you; and also, I will have the checks direct deposited and give you your $20.00 a week allowence.. Just like a women, always looking out for us men!! lol. Thanks for your response and I hope you and your BF are successful and have the best 2014 ever!!

 

I guess I should learn to use the "quote reply" so you'll know who I am responding too. Are you still getting decent work this time of year until the weather breaks? Question? In your experience, is 59 to old for a company like Melton to consider a new CDL grad, I'm sure a recruiter would say no problem, but do you have any negative feed-back from Melton driver's. Thanks!
