    Hello all,

    First I would like to say thank you to whoever runs this board, and the members who post such helpful advice. As a recent graduate, I have been mulling over different opportunities, and had considered Swift, JBHunt, Schnieder, and a few others. This site has really opened my eyes to what those companies really are.

    Now, I am trying to decide between two companies. Falcon Transportation, or Boyd Brothers Transportation. Has anyone here had experience with either of these companies? I have heard good things about Boyd, and can't really find much, if anything on Falcon.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Mark

    Sounds like your looking for Flatbed ? Another good thing you can try is your local truck stop. Just jump in and ask them. Most drivers will tell you the Pro's and Con's of any company. As you will find out it all comes down to a few things... Money, Hometime, Miles, Trucks, and how they treat their drivers.
