The verifiable has been my stumbling block.
I drove tractor trailers for a few years on a private lease that taught me in house and hence, didnt require a cdl. I only recently got my cdl (11/19). That rules out a lot of options. I'm not afraid of applying though, in Hope's of at least getting a road test.

 

You should be good for Navajo Express then.

Thanks. Do you think that would be better than system transport regional flatbed?

Probably, during a recession. I think System hauls gypsum board out of Denver. System is a pretty good outfit though. If you really want flatbed, do that, then if times get hard, switch to refrigerated.
Keep the list of refrigerated companies and you'll be ready if needed.

I'm a reefer person. One if the reasons I got into reefer was because the freight tends to be more consistent, less seasonal and more recession proof. The reefer trailers my company uses also have better suspension systems than their dry van trailers, so they are smoother to pull. I also like that with reefer loads you always have a dock. I've been in a couple of places that weren't necessarily easy to get into or out of. But, I trained with a mentor in dry van and we had several loads that delivered in places never designed for a truck, to include having to get folks to move cars in a parking lot and having to get the police to stop traffic to get into a spot that required a blind-side back. Yucky stuff. Call me lazy, but I do enjoy having an actual dock.
On the bad side, if the reefer noise bothers you (it doesn't bother me), you might have a problem. Also, most loads are live loads and unloads. You have to have patience. You can get stuck for hours waiting to get loaded/unloaded.
