Flatbed VS Van : What are some of the pro's and cons?

Well there is a difference between the dirt of an honest day's labor and the funk of forty thousand years. And there are some drivers out there who do appear to have avoided soap and water that long! Take a shower, ya smelly barstuds! You won't melt!

 

You can always tell us flatbedders when in the bathroom; we wash our hands... and our arms... and even our legs in the summer.

 

LOL!!


Good topic. Good thread.

 

i like to get the load secured and get on with my day the clothes willl wash and most of the time the grease comes off me as well lol

 

Well my son put in for SWIFT's orientation class here in TX ! and told hes job that he was going and gave them a two week notice ! Which they let him go that same day ? ! right then ( no job ) .!!! So ! when the time came for him to go the class, they called , and said he had to wait another week ? While in class , he asked for flat bed and they said he MIGHT have to go to IN for training or get a mentor. Well hes been out of orientation , TEN days. And today ! ( not before ) OOooo ? the flat bed teacher works four on and four off ? it might be 1 to 2 mores weeks before you get to go ..... Last night he was out side the house crying and it just about tore my heart out . And today he sold he's $ 400.00 rod and reel for $75.00 just to have some kind of pocket money. He / we call and call and all they say OOoooo we'll call you when we hear something .. .The nutty thing is the instructor that drove with him told everyone he was the best in class ( been driving for three years )

 

Yep, im going with prime first.

Well the boy sold hes speakers/amp/fishing rod+reel, So please pray that SWIFT calls today ! Because of waiting for them he has been out of work for 6 weeks
