    I can give you some names of flatbed operations. Are they good? That's for you to find out. Roehl, Wi. Western, Nashville. TMC, Des Moines. Decker, Ft.Dodge, Ia. Swift, Phoenix. Maverick, Ar. Prime, Mo. You might also try Mercer out of Louisville and Landstar and Malone. They are O/O's, but some O/O's have small fleets and need to hire drivers at times for their trucks.
