    I am 44 years old in decent shape. I have a few pre hires. One from TMC, Maverick, Star Transportation and Stevens. I like the idea of flatbeds but you have to pick up a 125 pound tarp to be able to pass orientation. Also with Maverick which is really where I want to work I here they run a lot of automatics which I don't want. what advice do you have> Thanks in advance.
    PS: do you know of any other good companies?

    It would be helpful if we knew what area you live in.

    Great information. How hard is it to handle the heavy tarps?
