From what I understand, Swift Flatbed is really hard to get into. They need drivers to run Lower 48 OTR before anything else ... so odds are they will have you do that first. They may even tell you that you can earn your stripes doing otr and then transfer to flatbed, but i think there's a significant wait. i asked my recruiter about it and she told me not to even bother ... so that may tell you something.
Just my two cents. If you are in school, try to go with a better company - I think from reading TMCs web site and based on what I've heard, it'll be hard work (Trucker Marine Corps?) but well worth it in the end.
Good luck to you!

I was told by TMC that I needed a 90% on my school tests if they were to look at me. Your young age might be against you, but just kick some ### in school. Give it your FULL attention.
