    Go to Mag Carriers in Ga with their 10% and you can use whatever board you want but probably should go with DAT.

    They require the truck and trailer to be brought to orientation. Not a deal breaker. But I haven’t decided yet. Their ins is around $155 a week I believe. That’s a lot cheaper than the quotes I have received so far.
    My only conundrum is if I want to lease to someone like that, and go out and get customers set up direct with them. I think I’d rather have my own authority to do that. But to run the loadboards almost exclusively this sounds like a good deal compared to the others.

    I agree. I have been looking at a few carriers trying to narrow it down.

    On the first thread that I posted the owner of JRV told that flatbed haulers need to have 5 years experience. If you want flatbed I think you should try Mercer or Admiral Merchants.

    True. From what I hear Mercer's really good for Flatbed I know the reason why I didn't go to Mercer for Drive-In was because they have it first in first out program and that kind of sucks
