    Hello and God Bless. My name is Dana. I am a 51-year-old man that is trying to get back into the Trucking Industry. I live in Northern Virginia. I have been out of the seat for around 5 years now running a “Website Design and Small Home Improvement Company”. I have held a Class A CDL for over 20 years. I am looking to get into the "Long Haul" part of the industry. Coast to coast and all areas in between. Flatbed or Lowboy preferred. I am a "Googler" meaning that I have joined this community looking for advice but also to become an active member to help support the community.

    Here's a few flatbed companies & there are many more:




    System Transport (trans-system)
    Melton Truck Lines
    Boyd Brothers
    Maverick
    TMC
    ATS
    Western Express
    PGT Trucking

    They will require you to aquire additional training since you haven't driven for 5 years; that's the way it is these days. Contact the ones you're interested in and ask what you need to do. Not all flatbed companies run 48 states, so that's a question to ask. Welcome back to the trucking world.

    :biggrin_25514: Thanks everyone for the nice greetings. Thanks Chinatown for the list of companies. I have no problem with the extra training and would look forward to receiving it. I am not the "Super Trucker" I thought I was when I was in my 20's, :biggrin_2559: I am brushing up on logbook requirements as well as the latest FMCSA regs. I have been on their auto e-mail list for the last 6 or 7 years as well as the NTBS. Thanks again everyone for the warm welcomes and information!
