    Check on google maps for lumber and building supply distribution centers.(Home Depot, lowes ) Drive up with personal car to see which carriers they use than call and ask.

    Hand, you are an experienced driver. Training companies are for rookies. What sort of flatbedding do you want to get into?

    -Steel hauler. Mainly hauls steel plate and coils.
    Stick and brick. Building supplies and lumber
    Crushed car hauler.
    Equipment and machinery.
    Specialized. Hauls anything and everything, usually on a step deck

    Are you wanting to run local, regional or OTR (western 11 or all 48 and Canada)?

    Why the switch ? You must have a company in mind. The right LTL company you’ll make the big bucks, skateboarding, you have to start from the bottom, learning all your securements isn’t a walk in the park anymore.
