    Hey everyone, any good info for a sweet young lady,, that wants to switch from dry/reefer van to drop deck flatbed... I've hauled lowboy a couple times for the local family farm with combines and larger farm equipment... but that was only 20 miles... but was fun and i learned how to bind down heavy equipment... i want a new adventure in my driving career, been doing thisfor a 11yrs. Time to up the stakes on the playing field.

    So what do you want to know? Some "Good info" from us could range anywhere from "How to properly secure something" to "Best steak house in Kansas" all the way to "The pros and cons of yoga pants on a hot day".

    I know what I smell like at the end of a hot day, and I guarantee it isn't a pro...

    There is quite a bit of information to be had in this forum because of the amount and levels of experience of the members. Then there are others that if they tell you "Water is wet" you might want to Google it just to make sure.

    Yoga pants should be a privilege not a right.
