    I am currently at Road Masters for my CDL. I do not foresee a problem obtaining it at this point. For some 'silly' reason I want to work flatbed. I do not know why, maybe the image I had as a child. I'm 54 and in good shape, at least I can hold my own. Currently have a home address in Louisiana but getting home is of no real concern. Would like to get the (don't know why I'm typying in bold now?)
    I want the right training, good training and above all , I do not want to run illegal. I look forward to 15-20 hour days. Would preferre a south west region if possible. I hate cold, snowand ice.I have out in apps with PAM, TMC, Prime, over the last couple of days.
    Any, suggestions welcome. I am totally free to stay out as long as needed.

    TMC is a good choice. They run great equipment, and have a great training program for flatbed. That would be my choice. There are also some other decent choices as well.

    TMC will be the best flatbed outfit out there, but they run a tight ship and expect the world from their drivers. If you fit in though you can make great money.
