    It just looked like tempers were starting to flare. That's all.:)

    And let's not have any more cheap shots at other members out of you like in post #32, please. There's no reason for comments like that.

    I can play nice but it sure is a Shame that you will let people insult other people with their Slicker responses and not very useful information.Especially the Newbies that dont know the Truth from Fiction.If you are following the Forum like I am and see what I see then you know what Im talking about

    IMO. The O.P. was receiving answers pertaining to his query the first page or so..it would help his cause if he would offer feedback during this? And further intelligent(?) comments would follow? He posted once..3 days ago..Cant some of us have "fun"?after he obviously has left the thread he started? :)

    I apologize for all my smart elic posts past,and future..I enjoy laughing,and
    lets be honest..Theres a lot of hit and run postings here.
    If I can EVER help any driver out I would/will.I would just try and have fun
    doing it.
    My mom didn't poop me out in a truck,so I can never know enough,but will
    gladly share what I do know with no ill will :biggrin_25525:

    I ran one flatbed load to cover,and it was a mess.I did alright,but some training
    would have helped.

    Flatbed is hard work and the pay is not that much better than box. Why don't try tanker or LTL, most time pay r much better and have more time off.

    Pay is not better? I ran van for a while at $.35 cpm and make $.42 here. On a 3,000 mile week that's $210 more,$840 a month more.

    Been with Melton a couple of weeks no flatbed experience and just about every driver I've bumped into has been nothing but helpful, sorry your experience wasn't as good.

    I have had, for the most part, the same experience.
