    I've been back and fourth with switching to flatbed I really want to do a little more work than just driving. So here are my questions.

    how many miles are you guys averaging?
    ive been with Roehl 5 months what would my CPM for flatbed?
    tarp pay?
    i live in fl, any problem still taking my truck home?
    I stay out 3-4 weeks anyways.
    im just looking for more work and a bit more money.

    I work at Melton and I know we have drivers from Florida that take the truck home. Great company to work for. I am not sure what the cpm will be for 5 months though I would guess around .35 to .37 cpm plus tarp pay.

    I have been on the phone with melton asking questions, my hold up is leaving Roehl when they have been good to me and also have a flatbed division, so that's why I'm asking Roehl flat bed drivers

    Im not flatbed, but I know theres a pay jump. Also pay for tarping/untarping. From sounds of it, my friend enjoys it.

    Probably none that lease. There was one on here. Lantern, but he's not around anymore, or very rarely.

    Not even really about lease just even co drivers that can give me some info. Since I already work for Roehl do you think I'd just have to take a few day class on flatbed loads?

    It's weekend in Gary. Then out with a local trainer for a few days. That's what I did anyway. But call on it. They don't seem to hire flatbedders from Florida much. You would need to call in about it.

    Yeah I was thinking about just calling a recruiter about it. If I have to go out with a trainer I may pass on it. Melton has a good sounding deal, but like I said Roehl has been good to me and I don't think I want to risk switching and getting stuck with a crappy FM or even worse.... Worse paychecks lol. That's a big reason why I'm thinking flatbed also because I've always worked very labor intisive jobs, so just driving all day and bumpin a dock door is gettin to my head a little

    A local trainer. Not living in the truck on the road. You'd stay in a bunk room or the hotel, and go out each day. Or if you got a flatbed truck already just stay in that at Gary.
