Fraley & Schilling Flatbed

Busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest! Finally got home for the holiday on Sunday after turning down a load I couldn't legally haul without permits (I freaking HATE brokers!), now sitting under a slinky load with two ski kiss that got tired and laid down half way across Ohio. Gotta call dispatch Monday to find out when I drop the load (hint: Thursday).

Had some plate loads mixed in with my normal coils. Prefer plate, so I rarely see it that often.

 

Hey Brsims, I'm going with PGT.
January 6, starting with their orientation e then officially leaving dry van. Let's see what a flatbed would bring to my career.

 

Good luck at PGT, Ottman. I've found plenty of drivers that are reasonably happy there. Or at least as happy as truckers ever are. : )

 

you have to deal with brokers as a company driver?

 

Only on that particular load. Dispatch was desperately trying to get my happy butt home for Christmas. We don't deal with brokers as a rule, which means dispatch doesn't have a lot of experience with the fictions brokers come up with to get a load moved. This load in particular just proved to the company that broker loads often aren't worth the stress and hassle. I'm relatively sure there are decent brokers out there, I just haven't dealt with any.

 

Are you still at fraley schilling and how is it going?

 

Hello how is it at fraley schilling? Thinking about coming on board.

 

Left years ago. Mileage pay + flatbed work = suckage.

There are better carriers available. What are you looking to drag around, and where do you live?

 

Baltimore area , don't matter flat van , reefer, or flat. Would like to be home on weekends tho
