    Hello I am new to trucking i just got out of the military and I am doing oreintation for flatbed trucking on Monday. I wanted flatbad, but I wanted to start out in van and the recruiter told me to go straight to flatbed so I am. I was wondering if anyone else is heading there this Monday and for those who have been through it or got extra tip for what i should pack or anything of your vast knowledge of what I am going through please let me know. Thanks and Semper Fi !
