    I'm a new driver trying to narrow my options down from a short list of flatbed companies. I live on the east coast in NC. Thanks for the help guys!

    Tmc and melton have some really solid load securement training. You can't go wrong with either. Melton has nice medical coverage, but its costly. TMC pays pretty decent from everything I've seen in my last 3 weeks. I'm loving my experience with my tmc training. There are others such as maverick, home run trucking (which is a joke) western express (steer clear) valley transportation likes for their drivers to play log book games.
     
    VdotFoxx Thanks this.

    Starter companies are what they are. If you can breathe, pass a drug test and have functioning limbs you're in.

    Find someone that isn't looking for warm bodies to fill seats. They are out there you just have to get out there and not just sit behind a keyboard looking for work.
