    Could someone recommend a flatbed/step deck company to lease on to that primarily goes out west?
    Not interested in a mega carrier

    I’d suggest loading 40ft by 2 ft tall cocain bricks from Laredo to the west. I promise you’ll be satisfied my friend

    I can only go by what I see on the road, but I think all you need is a 110” bunk and a trailer with little bitty tires.

    I’m currently leased on with Systems Transport- they are based out of Spokane, but have a few terminals scattered around. We run predominantly in the western 11.
    Feel free to DM me if you want specifics.
