    I have been accepted by USX, Western Express, MCT, and USA. I really want to do flat bed but TMC turned me down due to my age and Maverick turned me down cause of work history. Which of those companies would you go to?

    I live in northern va and would like to get home every other weekend if not every weekend.

    any advice is helpful.

    MCT isn't bad.I drove for them.USX has automatics.Which is ok I suppose but keep in mind if you decide to leave usx later on,you'll have to get retrained to learn the manual.

    If it was me I would peruse the threads on this sight to get a feel for each company, I searched TTR for almost a year before settling on my current company, helped me weed out the bottom feeder companies that were more concerned with feeling a seat just my 2 cents

    I fixed it! But there is LOADs of information on here, flatbedding is alot of work! I don't do it because my back is not in the best of condition and I just don't need the exercise! Take your time and stay with whoever you go with for at least a year! Tough it out, Job Jumpers are not liked in this industry. Take Care.

    Millis transfer. They don't do flatbed but you will NOT be disappointed.
